Silver White Wall Art

Silver White — 6 museum-grade prints in this palette. Kalighat Pat grew up in 19th-century Kolkata, painted by migrant patua (chitrakar) scroll-painters who settled near the Kalighat Kali temple and sold quick watercolour souvenirs to pilgrims. Working on mill-made paper with a bold single black brush outline and soft 'boneless' shaded strokes on a plain ground, they painted gods and goddesses alongside what is often called India's first modern social satire — sharp, affectionate caricatures of the colonial 'babu' and the hypocrisies of Calcutta life. Ferrari built just thirty-six 250 GTO examples between 1962 and 1964 for FIA Group 3 homologation — Scaglietti-bodied, Bizzarrini-honed aerodynamics, Colombo V12 power — and the model won the FIA GT Championship in 1962, 1963, and 1964. Collectors routinely describe it as the holy grail of Maranello road-race cars; auction results have reached nine figures. Pattachitra is the cloth-painting tradition of Odisha, centred on the chitrakar families of Raghurajpur near Puri, worked in five mineral colours on patta with crisp lamp-black contour and profile figures. Tarakasi — the silver-filigree craft of Cuttack — is one of Odisha's signature metal arts, twisting hair-thin silver wires into lacework jewellery, peacocks, boats and the towering 'chandi medha' backdrops used in Durga Puja.
