ALCHEMY
for Vogue India’s Valentine’s Day Gifting Guide 2026
Materials: Bone Inlay, Antique Gilding, Hand-carved Teak Wood“Alchemy” is the result of an intricate, layered process where material and technique come together with quiet precision.
The creation of the coffee table originates with a hand-carved solid teak wood structure, meticulously shaped and finished before undergoing layers of gold leafing and antique gilding. Through deliberate hand abrasions, repeated surface rubbing, and controlled distressing, the piece acquires a time-worn look, further enhanced with subtle oil-paint shading to evoke an aged, heirloom quality.
The tabletop features an intricately designed bone inlay surface, crafted using ethically sourced camel bone, completed with a high-gloss polyester finish that lends depth, luminosity, and an immaculate glaze. The result is a piece that feels both historic and refined, where craftsmanship transforms material into art.

THE ROYAL PROCESSION
for Vogue India’s Valentine’s Day Gifting Guide 2026
“The Royal Procession” is an oil painting envisioned in a circular form, inspired by archival courtly imagery from the Mughal era, drawing upon the visual traditions of historic palace complexes across the Indian subcontinent. The composition portrays a ceremonial march - royal elephants, noble riders, and attendants advancing past fortified gates in a display of discipline and grandeur.
Rich detailing, softened tones, and a sense of depth lend the work a timeless quality, allowing it to sit somewhere between historical memory and contemporary interpretation. Executed using traditional oil painting techniques, the work is built through layered brushwork that allows colour, light, and shadow to evolve gradually across the surface. Subtle glazing and tonal modulation lend depth and movement to the scene, while the slow-drying nature of oils enables refined detailing and soft transitions.
This process contributes to the painting’s time-worn richness, echoing the patina of historical artworks.
The Installation Art reimagines the atmosphere of Royal life, its order, dignity, and quiet authority, transforming it into a collectible artwork.
Each object is authored through a deliberate process of making, valued for its narrative, material integrity, and artistic presence.
From designer luxury lamps to distinctive furniture and one-of-a-kind works, the Gallery celebrates creations that command attention quietly - pieces intended to be contemplated and regarded as rare collectibles.
