Extraordinary detail applied with a steady hand produces incredible results in this set of six ceramic knobs, presented by India's Khalid Ali. The knobs are handcrafted from clay before being baked at a high temperature. Then, the artist hand paints the intricate floral and lattice design before applying a non-toxic glaze. The end product is a home decor accent that will make even the simplest of doors or drawer fronts command attention.
You can find our ceramic knobs 'Floral Appeal' (set of 6) by Khalid Ali in decor accessories categories such as Hand Painted Decorative Hardware and Metal Decorative Hardware. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
Preserving Traditions
Khalid learned repousse metal work, known as patra, or Indo Napoleon, from his father and uncle.
