A set of four baubles, made from Kashmiri papier-mache and handpainted using a ‘naqashi’ technique. Painted in green, these little organic globes add a touch of the handmade to your Christmas tree. Truly a talking point on the tree!

Inspiration
When one thinks of papier-mache, they don’t necessarily think of a sophisticated craft like woodwork or ikat weaving. Yet, these unassuming baubles contain centuries of history and craftsmanship. Whether wandering ‘Heaven on Earth’ (an oft-used name thanks to Kashmir’s exquisite surroundings within the Himalayas) or browsing Casa’s website, you’ll find this technique truly elevated. Don’t be swayed by papier-mache, they have so many fine layers of paper, the material has the handfeel of wood.

Kashmir, encircled by India, Northwestern China and Pakistan, has a culture that has been interwoven with illustrious influences. While the technique is firmly linked to Kashmiri culture, it arrived through Persian influence in the 15th century.
