This exquisite antique Indian printing block is crafted from durable teak wood and dates back to approximately 1930. Originating from Rajasthan, India, the block features intricate hand-carved floral and geometric patterns, a testament to the skill of traditional artisans. Measuring 15 x 15 x 7 cm (5.9 x 5.9 x 2.8 inches), it was originally used for hand-block printing on fabrics and paper—a craft that has been largely replaced by mechanisation today.
The block remains in excellent condition and can still be used for creative projects such as fabric or paper printing. Simply dip it in paint or dye and press onto your chosen surface to create beautiful repeating patterns. Alternatively, it serves as a stunning decorative piece, adding a touch of history and artistry to any space.
Each item in our collection is personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team during their travels in Rajasthan, ensuring authenticity and uniqueness. This piece is stored in the UK and ready for shipment.
