Picture Frame – Mother of Pearl & Mango Wood

Some frames hold a photo. This one holds a story. 💚✨

The Chitra Picture Frame is a masterpiece of traditional Indian craftsmanship, combining the luminous beauty of hand-carved mother of pearl shell with the warm, natural richness of sustainably harvested mango wood. Inspired by the art forms of New Delhi, every tile of mother of pearl is individually placed by hand — a painstaking process that results in a frame as unique as the memory it holds.

About Mother of Pearl: Mother of pearl — also known as nacre — is the iridescent inner lining of certain mollusk shells, including oysters and abalone. It is one of nature’s most extraordinary materials: incredibly strong, yet breathtakingly beautiful. Its signature shimmer comes from the way microscopic layers of aragonite crystals stack and refract light, producing that signature rainbow-like iridescence that shifts with every angle. Prized for centuries by royalty and artisans alike, mother of pearl has adorned everything from Mughal palace inlays to fine jewelry. Each shell tile is unique — no two pieces ever catch the light in exactly the same way.

About the Mango Wood: The frame base is crafted from sustainably harvested mango wood — a dense, beautifully grained hardwood that is an eco-friendly choice, as it is sourced from mango trees that have completed their fruit-bearing life cycle.
