PROFILE :
The
saw was invented in the Indus valley some 5000 years ago, starting
the evolution of the indigenous carpenter's skills. The successive
waves of invaders, Aryans 1700 B.C., Achaemenids of Persia
516 B.C., Greeks 326 B.C., left lasting impressions on furniture
and architecture. Aryans introduced wooden stools, benches and sandals.
Achaemenids brought Mesopotamian motifs in stone and wood. Greek
settlers designed chests, wardrobes, settees, cabinets and chairs.
The Northern areas of the Indian sub-continent which is today's
Pakistan became a melting pot of civilizations. The interaction
of ideas culminated in the style and design in woodcraft and architecture
which survived for a long time.
The presence of both soft wood ( Cedar & Pine) and hard wood
(Shesham & Walnut) facilitated the carpenters to produce not
only the furniture but also the household utensils like cooking
pots, plates, goblets and spoons. Houses of the nobility were built
of wood with intricately carved beams, pillars, windows and doors
apart from producing thrones, couches, bedsteads, stools, writing
desks, low chairs, chests and cabinets to satisfy the taste of each
client and according to the requirement of each room.
Much of what the great masters produced has perished since long
but still a large treasure is hidden in remote areas of Pakistan.
Heritage is dedicated to the collection, restoration and export
of these valuable items of wooden art all over the world.
