Silver Filigree

Silver Filigree artwork also known as “Tarkashi” is a centuries old craft practised in the Silver City of Cuttack, Odisha. The craft is believed to have been introduced in Odisha when the Mughals established their rule in India.
Silver Filigree is a 500-year-old highly skilled art form which is also an ancient traditional identity of Odisha. This fine form of artistry is the result of artist’s precision and dedication. The craftsman patiently and laboriously turns the silver wires and foils into elegant designs adding spirals, webs and curls as he shapes a Silver Filigree Masterpiece.
