Old Indian Printing Block on a Stand

The Old Indian Printing Block on a Stand is a piece of history transformed into art. Once used in the traditional craft of block printing textiles, each block was hand-carved with intricate motifs and pressed into fabric to create repeating patterns. Over time, the wood has absorbed layers of ink and developed a rich patina, making every block entirely unique.

Mounted on a simple stand, these blocks are now celebrated as sculptural objects. Their detailed carvings and timeworn surfaces tell stories of artistry and tradition, while their raw texture brings depth and authenticity to modern interiors.

Perfect for display on a console, shelf or desk, the Old Indian Printing Block on a Stand is both a conversation piece and a beautiful way to honour heritage craft. Each one carries the individuality of its maker’s hand, offering a rare glimpse into India’s cultural artistry.
