About woodcraft of Kishangarh

Kishangarh is known for its exquisite hand painted furniture executed in wood. The furniture stands out for the use of traditional miniature motifs, which were traditionally executed on silk or other fine cloth and used as curtains and drapery. The raw materials are locally available. The wood used is babool (acacia arabica), shisham (rosewood) or aam (mango), which is brought cut to size in the market. Usually, the work involves simple construction----turning, cutting and joining. The painting is done after finishing the furniture. A varnished coat follows it to give a smooth finish to the product.

The main furniture items, which are produced, include detachable chairs, stools, chowkis, low tables, sofas, large tables, and a variety of small boxes and containers.
