The Lucknow Heritage: A Vintage Brass Surmedaani Pair

Celebrate centuries of beauty rituals with this handcrafted vintage Surmedaani, a traditional kohl container used across South Asia and the Middle East.
Meticulously made from solid brass, this elegant vessel once held surma (natural kohl) and features a narrow neck, intricately embossed base, filigree finial and a pointed applicator cap that fits snugly within the container-doubling as both lid and applicator.
This surmedaani is not just a utilitarian object, but a piece of living history-its graceful curves and detailed craftsmanship reflect the artistry of a bygone era.
Often placed on vanity trays or passed down as heirlooms, it now serves as a striking decorative piece for collectors, stylists, and admirers of cultural artifacts.
Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that's a part of its beauty and age.
