Preserving the timeless beauty of Rajasthani craftsmanship for over 50 years
Founded in the early 1970s, Vintage Art and Decor began as a small family workshop in the heart of Rajasthan. What started as a passion for preserving traditional Thikri mirror work has blossomed into a renowned establishment that has been creating exquisite handmade artworks for over five decades.
Our journey is rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan, where the ancient technique of Thikri work - the intricate art of embedding small mirrors into fabric and wood - has been passed down through generations. We have dedicated ourselves to not just preserving this traditional craft, but elevating it to contemporary artistic excellence.
