Handcrafted Round Wooden Tea Coasters – Golden Peacock

Kalamkari peacock, Andhra Pradesh — handcrafted in gold on round wooden coasters. Set of 6, waterproofed.

Kalamkari painters in Andhra Pradesh have used the peacock as a central motif for generations – India's national bird, rendered in the fine pen-and-natural-dye technique that turns cloth and, here, wood into a canvas. This round coaster set captures the bird in gold : tail feathers fanned in intricate detail, set against a rich ground that reads as festive rather than everyday.

It's the coaster set we recommend most often for Diwali gifting and wedding trousseaus – gold has that effect. If you're building a home that speaks to Indian heritage without shouting about it, this is the quieter, more expensive-looking version of the "peacock coaster."

At EthniiChic, each coaster is carefully crafted by artist using decoupage techniques to reflect the intricate detailing, then sealed, waterproofed, and heat-treated so it holds up to daily tea and coffee use rather than sitting purely decorative. Perfect for protecting surfaces while enhancing your home’s aesthetic, this folk art accessory set is lightweight and durable.

A frequent pick for housewarming, wedding, and festive gifting, and one of our most-loved pieces among NRI customers styling a coffee table, dining table, or work-from-home desk with a genuine piece of Indian craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these coasters heat-resistant and safe under hot cups?
Yes. Every coaster is heat-treated and sealed, so it can hold a hot cup of tea or coffee daily without damage to the handcrafted surface underneath.

How do I clean and care for handcrafted wooden coasters?
Wipe with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them, running them under a tap, using the dishwasher, or scrubbing with chemicals – this keeps the handcrafted finish looking new for years.

Do these coasters make good gifts?
Yes — this is one of our most-requested pieces for housewarming, wedding, and festive gifting, and a favourite among NRI customers gifting a piece of home. Each set comes with a matching stand, ready to hand over. 

What is Kalamkari art?
Kalamkari is a hand-painting and dyeing technique from Andhra Pradesh, done with a bamboo pen (kalam) and natural dyes, traditionally used on cloth to depict peacocks, florals, and mythological scenes — one of India's oldest surviving textile art forms.

Would the handcrafted design fade over time?
The sealant coat protects the artwork under normal daily use, and colours hold well for years with the simple care above; direct, prolonged sunlight will fade any hand-painted or dyed surface faster, so keep pieces out of direct window light where possible.
