Gaja (Bidri) - Wooden Name Plate

Welcome to our section devoted to nameplates embellished with the fine art of Bidri. Bidri takes its name from the place where it originated, Bidar, Karnataka. It's also known as Bidriware. It is a distinctive form of metal handicraft that was developed in the 14th century C.E. during the rule of the Bahamani Sultans. Housenama now brings this ancient and extraordinary art form to its contemporary and stylish range of smooth and even-grained Steamed Beech Wood name plates.

Take, for instance, the Gaja, a stately and regal evocation of bidriware on nameplates.

All our wooden name-plates are coated with polyurethane - making it more resistant to water and other atmospheric agents. Needless to say, it makes for a meaningful and durable housewarming party gift.
