When it comes to handicrafts, wood is the most admired material that the craft makers and lovers have worked through. One of the most age old materials that the world has used is wood apart from metal. Many nations across the globe have adapted wood in various forms and style while creating handicrafts. Each style is unique and one such style that we will speak about today is the filigree work on wood.<\/p>\n

Filigree work on wood is nothing but wood appliqu\u00e9s or wood inlays. Wood filigree has been adapted by many artisans in many countries. India is one such place, but India has a very distinct style of wood appliqu\u00e9 where the wood is just not carved on the upper surface, but carved through the surface to make holes and give a see through design.<\/p>\n

\"Handcrafted<\/a>

Our first pick is a wooden trunk up elephant<\/a>. This trunk up elephant is the signature show piece made in India. This one is fully hand crafted and has traditional intricate appliqu\u00e9 work on its body.<\/p>\n

\"Lucky<\/a>

On the similar lines, we have the beautiful wooden peacock<\/a>. Peacock is the national bird of India and nothing can be better than this piece of craft, if you want to collect a signature show piece of India. This one is fully hand crafted and has traditional see through blocks on its body.<\/p>\n

Our third pick is again very unique. Remember the chariots? This hand crafted wooden traditional elephant chariot<\/a> is replicated on the Indian kings’ (maharajas) chariot, that they had used in the battlefields. Traditional Indian design and perfectly carved woodwork is an ultimate handicraft excellence.<\/p>\n

\"Traditional<\/a>
