| We are proud to present Coromandel Arts Handcrafted Treasure Boxes, Wall Hangings, Trunks, Pedestals, Plates, Humidors, Bottle Holders, Kleenex Boxes and Jewelry Boxes. Each piece is an original work of art, hand crafted one piece at a time. |
| While all of these products are hand painted, the carved work shown on some pieces represents the ancient Chinese art form called Coromandel. It is the carving of clay over wood, hand painting with an oil base paint and using several layers of lacquer as a finish. It is this finish which protects the art work and gives this product its very shiny look. |
|
Embossed pieces, which feel raised, are produced by layering clay, gypsum powder and paint over and over again until the correct height of the embossing work is achieved.
|
|
Using a slightly damp, soft cloth to clean the art pieces will give you a lifetime of enjoyment from them. Make sure to wipe them dry with a soft dry cloth also.
|
|
The beauty of these art works are only complimented by the ability to be more then just pretty faces. These products easily blend beauty with practicality, making them the perfect gift giving idea for any occasion.

|
Whether you use Coromandel Handcrafted Art Treasure Boxes for storing the remote controls, mail, magazines, Q-Tips, or your most treasured memories, they are just as beautiful and unique standing alone. Owning a Coromandel hand crafted product represents the beauty of endless possibilities.
