Discover Thai Art

Thailand is a beautiful country in South East Asia that nearly 95% of its population is Buddhist of the Theravada school.

Thai culture was inspired by ancient Indian merchants who gradually settled in Southeast Asia about 2,300 years ago as well as Chinese immigrants and strong Buddhist influence, blended with neighboring cultures such as Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.

Thai art was above all Buddhist. Sculpture was almost exclusively of Buddha images, while painting was restricted to illustration of books and decoration of buildings and temples.

Other artistic objects such as jewelry, embossed silver, textile, lacquer works and pottery, were made for general use and everyday life.

Contemporary Thai art often combines traditional Thai elements with modern techniques.

The Magic of Silver

Northern Thailand artisans are well known for their wonderful creations in silver, all made by hand with almost no machinery help, this is why no two pieces are exactly alike which makes every piece to be exceptional.

One example of the extraordinary silver art work is a captivating Sterling silver purse, 'Heart of Flower' wrought from sterling silver (925 silver) resplendent in hand-crafted wizardry. This purse makes for a sophisticated complement to elegant dress and a truly unique gift idea.

Other stunning birthday presents are the handmade silver jewelry such as the stunning cuff Bracelet, 'Lanna Moonbeams' handcrafted with an ages-old technique, spiced up with Thai essence. An admirable accessory for elegant evenings out.

Pearls are the most famous natural treasure of Thailand. Take a look at Busarin's (one of my favorite artisan) dazzling hand threaded art work of Pearl and crystal choker, 'Spiral', she really works her magic using these enchanting gems. It's a beautiful versatile gift perfect for any occasion.
