Forged since ancient times from only the roots of rosewood trees, Cheppu represents a subtle yet magnificent reminder of the craftsmanship of our ancestors. The thickness of the root decides the final size of the Cheppu and this simply adds to the mysticism surrounding them. They are among the most beloved home decor items in Kerala today.
Cheppu is a trinklet box used for a variety of functions across the landscape of God’s Own Country. These boxes or small containers with the ornate brass embellishments on its exterior are a visual treat, elevating their aesthetic value to another level. Every part of the box is handmade, from the lock to the nails and is painted with different colors like Orange, Red, and Green.These rich earthy colours are set off splendidly by the extravagant embellishments.Every inch of these beautiful boxes are hand-crafted, and they tell a story of a wood art form that has resided on these shores for centuries.
