Gajendra Shanane By Royal Appointment GajendraShanane - By Royal Appointment - hand makes exclusive one-of-a-kind luxuries and gives certificate courses in luxury and connoisseurship knowledge

Gajendra Shanane© - By Royal Appointment, restores the finest of India’s pre-colonial arts to the nation’s connoisseurs. On the eve of colonial rule, India’s fine and decorative arts rivaled the best in the world. From its perfumes, lacquer, paper, stone carving and jewelry to its staggering range of textiles famed the world over, India’s courtly arts depended on secret, labor intensive, ingeniou

s processes that took generations to invent and perfect. The colonial era saw the demise of many of these arts as industrialization taught India’s buyers to settle for cheaper products that only shabbily resembled what its elite had once cultivated and prized. Few now understand the nuances that distinguish the finest hand-loomed pashmina shawls, for example, from lesser-quality jacquard loomed substitutes, or can appreciate the level of thewa that India’s elite patrons and artisans once collaborated to sustain. A few Indian buyers still have an eye for true luxury that few others in the world can rival, but India’s luxury arts and the connoisseurs who sustained them are now rare. Gajendra Shanane brings this luxury back to the world’s most discerning buyers. India’s first true luxury brand, Gajendra Shanane is dedicated to reintroducing South Asia’s finest decorative and wearable art to global connoisseurs. Gajendra Shanane’s secret lies in a historically and technically deep knowledge of India’s artisanal processes, the fostering of respectful, informed, lasting relationships with a selection of India’s few remaining top-level artisanal masters, and a dedication to educating its clientele in the connoisseurship and acquisition of India’s most lavish and rare arts.

The story of GajendraShanane

Gajendra Shanane© - By Royal Appointment, restores the finest of India’s pre-colonial arts to the nation’s and International connoisseurs. From its perfumes, lacquer, paper, stone carving and jewelry to its staggering range of textiles famed the world over, India’s courtly arts depended on secret, labor intensive, ingenious processes that took generations to invent and perfect. The colonial era saw the demise of many of these arts as industrialization taught India’s buyers to settle for cheaper products that only shabbily resembled what its elite had once cultivated and prized. Few now understand the nuances that distinguish the finest hand-loomed pashmina shawls, for example, from lesser-quality jacquard loomed substitutes, or can appreciate the level of thewa that India’s elite patrons and artisans once collaborated to sustain. A few Indian and International buyers still have an eye for true luxury that few others in the world can rival, but India’s luxury arts and the connoisseurs who sustained them are now rare. Gajendra Shanane has brought this luxury back to the world’s most discerning buyers. India’s first true luxury brand, Gajendra Shanane is dedicated to reintroducing South Asia’s finest decorative and wearable art to global connoisseurs.
