From the Hindi “mod”, to twist
Marodi
Practised by woodcarvers before it moved to metal, Marodi flourished under Mughal patronage. Fine chisels cut twisting, intricate patterns line by line into the brass surface.

Rooted in India,designed for the world.
Collectible furniture, lighting and wall art, hand-engraved and hand-raised in brass by master artisans in Jaipur. Every piece is made to order, often over hundreds of hours.
The House
A tribute to intricacy and legacy, made by hand in an age of replication.
House of Edwa is rooted in Marodi, a rare metal-engraving craft of Western India that was close to disappearing. The studio began with a personal fascination, sparked by childhood memories of Marodi decorations and a Jaipuri Kalash, and grew into a practice devoted to reviving the craft.
Headquartered in Jaipur and drawing on its architecture, rhythm and ornament, the studio creates limited-edition works for patrons of culture. A growing community of designers and artisans hammer raw brass into form, then engrave, enamel, buff and lacquer each piece by hand, working at a level of detail that rivals museum collections.
Classical in reference and contemporary in expression, every piece becomes a collectable: a conversation starter that carries generations of knowledge. Here, luxury means endurance, detail and heritage, never excess.

Founder's note
“House of Edwa takes its name from my ancestral village, where my earliest memories of art and craft were formed. This project is not only about revival. It is about conserving the craft of my people for generations to come.” Sanjay Singh Rathore · Founder
The Crafts
Three techniques, one hand.
Hammered from the reverse
Repoussé
Practised for over 3,000 years across Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Metal is struck from behind to raise relief, then chased from the front for detail, with no casting involved.
Colour fired into metal
Meenakari
Enamel is laid into engraved channels and fired, bringing colour, depth and a single emotion to each surface. It is used on mirrors, lamps and the Tirupati Balaji panel.
