DOKRA is admired around the world for its rustic beauty and luxury appeal.
It is also called Dhokra art, and is one of India’s oldest metal crafts, created using a 4,000-year-old lost-wax technique, and is used to craft a wide range of handmade pieces — from home decor accents or showpieces to spiritual products and even elegant jewelry items.
Artisans first make a model in wax, cover it with clay, melt the wax out, and fill the space with molten metal. When the clay mold is broken, the final brass piece appears. Every piece carries the touch of the artisan who created it.

The Beauty of Handmade Imperfection
Unlike factory-made products, DOKRA art is never perfectly smooth. And that is the charm. Because the mold is destroyed each time, no two DOKRA products can ever be identical.
-
You see the texture of the wax threads
-
You feel the small marks left during casting
-
You notice tiny variations that make each piece one-of-a-kind
This raw, antique look is what makes DOKRA fit beautifully into modern luxury homes. It blends effortlessly with glass, marble, wood, and minimal decor.

Why Collectors Love DOKRA
1. It’s art, not decor
Every piece is individually sculpted. No molds. No mass production. This makes each item inherently exclusive.
2. It carries history
The same method was once used by the Indus Valley civilisation. Owning a DOKRA piece is like owning a small part of India’s heritage.
3. It elevates a space immediately
A simple figurine or candle holder can transform a corner. It adds depth, warmth, and a sense of story.
4. It supports traditional artisans
When you choose true DOKRA, you’re choosing craftsmanship over machines — and helping keep a rare skill alive.
