Our Thanjavur Art Plates come in different sizes and shapes on metal mainly silver, fixed on brass or copper plates. Thanjavur or Tanjore Art Plate History  The creation of the Thanjavur Art Plates is credited to raja Serfoji Ii (1797-1832), the the Maratha ruler of Thanjavur,who asked his royal artisans to create metal artifact that would reflect the glory of his kingdom. Silver, brass, and copper are encrusted on to each other to create this stunning piece of art. The effect of silver in high relief on the reddish copper ground is unusual and striking. Artisans of the Vishwakarma community follow this hereditary profession in Thanjavur. This Thanjavur metal plate has as its base a plate of brass prepared by a heavy-metal worker and the relief on copper is worked upon by a jeweler while the encrusting is done by a stone-setter with silver. The tools used to create this metal craft item are hammers, pincers, moulds, punches, chisels, grinding stones and a forge. Process Of Making Thanjavur Art Plates The first step involves cutting the base to the size of plate planned and polishing its front side. It is then fixed firmly to an asphalt bed with a wooden base which is then heated with a blow pipe and leveled so that the basic design die is prepared. The silver and copper sheets are then cut to the size, heated slightly before being cast into an impression on to the die. The impression thus achieved is finished by etching and refining the embossing with the aid of chisels and punches.  The next step involves encrusting and super imposing the metal sheet. This is done by filling with wax made of brick powder, gingili oil, and frankincense the hollow depressions at the back of the relief sheet. The relief sheet is then placed on the base plate and riveted on by punching along the grooves. This is then followed by the final polishing. The embossed designs on the central circular metallic disc may include a representation of deities like Nataraja, Saraswati, Ashta Lakshmi and Ganapaty while the designs around the central motif can be from the pantheon of Hindu deities or floral designs. Besides Thanjavur Art Plates, the exquisite art metal products such as bowls, napkin rings, jewel boxes, key chains and paper weights are made using the same technique. Logos and emblems of corporate houses and organizations have also been embossed

Process of making Bidriware: The process of making products in accordance to the Bidri art form involves a number of steps. These are detailed as under. Casting the alloy: A mould is prepared out of a mix of resin, castor oil, and soil. Molten metal alloy of zinc and copper, taken in the ratio of 16:1, is poured into this mould. Based on the product design, various metal castings may have to be welded together in order to get the final single product. Buffing:The rough surface of the mould is filed in order to give it a smooth texture Drawing the design:In order to obtain a temporary black hue, copper sulphate is applied on the shiny surface. This way, the craftsmen find it easier to draw neat, clear designs. A metal stylus is used for etching the design on to the surface of the mould Engraving the design:With the help of a chisel, the design is carved out Inlaying:Inlay work depends on the design and is of two types- wire work or sheet work. Wires or sheets of pure silver are hammered on to the engraved grooves with precision. The surface is then buffed and smoothened so that there is no extra silver jutting out. Once the product has been completely filed, the entire surface regains its white appearance. At this point, the silver inlay work is hardly visible Oxidizing:This is something unique to the Bidri art form. Soil from the Bidar Fort is mixed with boiling water and ammonium chloride in order to get a solution. On applying this solution to the surface of the product, the zinc-copper alloy turns jet black but the silver engravings remain unaffected. This black color is permanent and there is no risk of it fading away Bidriware Designs: The Bidriware designs are usually patterns such as the Asharfi-ki-booti, stars, vine creepers and stylized poppy plants with flowers.Traditional designs of Bidri Crafts include the Persian Rose and passages from the Quran in Arabic script.
