Hand Painted Blue Floral Ceramic 3 Drawer Chest

Keep your trinkets, spices, teas, dried herbs, jewellery or haberdashery organised in our multifunctional hand painted Indian ceramic chest. Made from solid mango wood, our chest features handy clips to keep the drawers in place when in use. All 3 drawer fronts adorn the same blue floral pattern to cleverly integrate the handles into the design, whilst the ceramic glaze beautifully highlights its colours against the warmly toned mango wood. The designs on the drawers are all the same as shown but because they are hand-painted there may be some slight variations. We think that this gives each one a unique feel. Made from: Mango Wood and Ceramic Drawers. 3 Drawer - 21 × 9.5 × 8 cm Also available in a range of sizes and designs to make sure that you can find the perfect set for you. Please see our other listings. All our mango wood products are made entirely by hand using traditional skills handed down from one generation to the next. Mango trees have an incredibly long life, but eventually stop bearing fruit and are replaced by younger trees. As India produces, by far, the most mangos in the world, this results in a huge industry using one of the most sustainable woods known to man. The drawers are made from ceramic, finished with a unique hand painted design. These products are expertly handcrafted by TARA Projects (Trade Alternative Reform Action), a World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO) and founding Fair Trade Forum India member. Established in the early 1970s, they are dedicated to creating opportunities and support for economically disadvantaged home-based artisans and crafts people in Delhi. Over the years the project has extended its work into the adjoining states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan. The project provides services to enable the production and marketing of handicrafts following Fair Trade principles, as well as providing education and support to empower their grassroots artisans. The heart of their work is dedicated to eradicating poverty, by fighting against exploitation and illiteracy amongst their producers and working communities. They help to fund schools and empower women as part of their drive to support marginalised groups. By making a purchase, you are helping to continue the fantastic work of our producers.
