Story Behind the Jagged Wooden Table Number Sign

In the narrow lanes of Kasba peth, you will find a hypnotic rhythm of hammer beating on metal - a sound that hasn’t faded for 300 years. The Tambat community (coppersmiths) has been practicing Mathar Kaam, hand beating copper into vessels since then. Established during the Peshwa era, this copper alley continues today, even as only a handful families remain practicing this craft.

Our wedding table number signs were born from this spirit.

Warm teakwood, chosen for its natural grain. Brass numbers shaped by 5th generation coppersmiths. The gentle dents left by the hammer create a pattern, giving each number its own unique texture. In old Indian homes, brass handles often lived on teakwood furniture - this pairing felt like coming home. The teakwood pieces are carefully joined together by Vernon to form a geometric pattern.

These small details carry a soul - and they whisper a simple truth: love, like craft, is built slowly, patiently and with heart.
