Dhokra Lost-Wax Cast Brass Candelabra, what we hold
The photograph of this candelabra came down with version 1 of this site, shot in a workshop setting. No document behind it is on file, so it stands as a reference to the Bastar method rather than as a batch offered for sale.
Everything else about the piece, the alloy or timber, the wall thickness, the weight and the tolerance, is not stated on any document we hold. It is set on the golden sample and written into the quotation.
Anything the sheet does not state is confirmed with the cluster before a quotation, not filled in here.
The method
A wax coil is wound over a clay core, invested in more clay, fired so the wax runs out, and replaced with molten metal. The mould is broken to take the piece out, so it exists once.
We describe the method, not a workshop. Anything specific to a maker is confirmed before it is quoted.
Not named on file
The cluster, the cooperative and the artisan for this reference are not named on any document we hold.
When a supplier sheet arrives for this line, the names, the batch basis and the price go on the record page.
What the sheet fixes and what it leaves open
- Stated on the sheet: nothing for this reference
- Left to the brief: price, minimum order, lead time, packing
- Set on the golden sample: size, finish, colour
This page is a record of the craft, not a quotation. A written quotation is what fixes a price, a quantity and a date.
Hand work varies
A piece made this way is not identical to its neighbour. We state a tolerance only when a document states one.
Finish
The colours and finishes a sheet states, listed as it states them. A new colourway is quoted from your brief.
