Interior Designer, London/DubaiThe Sacred 6-Step Process
Creation of a single masterpiece takes 4 to 8 weeks of meticulous effort by master artisans.
Board Preparation
An authentic Burmese Teak or Jackfruit wood base is prepared and layered with organic Arabic gum and French chalk (Mukk) to create a stone-like foundation.
Sacred Sketching
Detailed outlines of deities are sketched using traditional proportions, often following ancient Dhyana Shlokas for divine accuracy.
Gesso Relief Work
The 'Mukk' paste is meticulously applied to create a three-dimensional embossed effect on ornaments, crowns, and architectural details.
22K Gold Foiling
Pure 24-carat gold leaves are carefully applied over the relief work, ensuring a signature luster that never fades over generations.
Stone Inlaying
The painting is further enriched by embedding semi-precious Jaipur stones and glass beads, adding royal opulence and color.
Traditional Painting
The final layer uses vibrant natural pigments to breathe life into the deity, focusing on rounded faces and compassionate expressions.
Born in the Courts of Marathas
The Thanjavur painting style evolved under the rule of the Nayakas and later flourished in the Maratha court of Serfoji II in the 16th century.
Today, Tanjore Creation carries this royal torch, using the same Burmese Teak, pure gold foil, and Jaipur stones that once adorned the corridors of kings and saints alike.
Golden Fragments
Our pieces are not just squares on a wall. They are dimensional portals, where every relief shard catches the light at a different angle, breaking the mundane grid of modern life.
Authenticity & Care
Is it real 24K gold foil?
Yes, we use only certified 24-carat gold leaves. Unlike synthetic gold, our foils never lose their luster and will shine for generations.
How do I maintain the painting?
Avoid direct moisture or sunlight. A gentle dusting with a soft brush once a month is sufficient to keep the gold glimmering.
Do you ship internationally?
We provide museum-grade packing and fully insured worldwide shipping to over 40 countries.
"A Tanjore painting is not just an acquisition; it is a legacy you pass down."
