Product Description
Mirror, Luxury: Home & Kitchen. Right now I have about ten artisans assisting me, most of whom are relatives I have trained. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Intricate textures in glowing repousso bring a feeling of unrestrained luxury to this design by Khalid Ali. Crafted by hand, the elegant mirror rises to a graceful arch. Its mango wood frame is covered with embossed brass bathed in nickel. Artisan Info: Hello, My name is Khalid Ali. As a child I was very naughty and would always do things my way. Even in school I was known as the mischievous boy and at home as 'Dennis the Menace.' But as I grew up, I understood the value of hard work. My father was a very hard working person and he is the one who taught me the dignity of labor. It is because of him that I am here today. My father started a small workshop in 1959 where he crafted artistic furniture using brass foil embossing. He has been doing that for ages until I took over about a decade ago. Our designs are basically inspired from the ancient Mughal style. But today we incorporate modern motifs into the ancient technique and style. Though I've been in this field a long time, my ardent desire is to continue to grow. I really appreciate Novica's way of promoting art.
