Long before ceramics were common in households, Indians used kansa (an alloy of brass) and brass tableware, using the nation’s traditional metalworking practices, for the multiple health benefits they come with. Indian Heirloom Co., a luxury gifting brand, relies on this ethos, creating collectible pieces with a focus on upholding local artisanship while also being aesthetic.
Currently, catering to a premium clientele across India and the UAE, the brand specialises in premium gifting for royal weddings and corporate commissions including HNIs (High-Net-Worth Individuals) and UHNIs (Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals).
Every piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans and metalsmiths from across India, using hand-beaten Kansa and brass, and further with intricate hand-painted detailing. With years of experience, the artisans ensure that every piece is made with care and every curve and motif reflect their passion.
Drawing inspiration from royal ateliers in Rajasthan and Udaipur, as well as Indian miniature painting traditions, the brand ensures that each piece is designed to be passed through generations, with materials and finishes that develop a character of their own over time.
The brand’s collection spans a wide range of categories, including plates and platters, dinner sets, bowls, serveware, cutlery, drinkware, and bar items featuring high tea and coffee sets. Giving an ode to the Indian motifs and cultural roots, each piece from the collection carries with a different theme like Gulmohar, Rajnigandha, Kalpvriksha, and more. Signature pieces such as the Gulmohar Kansa Thali and Kansa Handi with Lid feature intricate hand-painted detailing and are crafted for both thoughtful gifting and everyday dining.
For those who prefer things made their way, the brand collaborates closely to help bring the vision to life. Each piece is then crafted, lacquer-coated and carefully inspected before delivery.
As the brand reintroduces Kansa and brass to contemporary dining, it builds on a long history of metal tableware in Indian households by working with artisans and adapting these metals in a modern household.
