Preserving the Art of Koftgari

Koftgari is more than decoration. It is a traditional metalworking art associated with the ornamentation of swords, daggers and other objects using fine gold or silver work over a prepared metal surface. Udaipur remains closely connected with this craft, and at Sikligar Arts it forms the visual language of many of our creations.
Our artisans work with patience and precision to build detailed motifs that give every piece its distinctive character. The result is not simply a decorative object, but a contemporary expression of Udaipur Koftgari art and the craftsmanship behind it.

Handcrafted Sword Collections

Our handcrafted sword collections bring together traditional Indian inspiration, Rajasthani design language and refined decorative detailing. From gold swords and silver Koftgari swords to ceremonial and heritage-inspired pieces, the collection is designed for buyers who value craftsmanship as much as visual presence. Rather than treating every sword as the same product, we present distinct collections so visitors can explore the style, metalwork and purpose that best suits them - whether for display, gifting, collecting or a special ceremony.

Gold & Silver Koftgari Craftsmanship

Gold and silver create two very different expressions of Koftgari. Gold detailing brings warmth and a rich ceremonial character, while silver work creates a cooler, finely defined contrast against the darker metal surface. Sikligar Arts states that its metalwork uses genuine 24K gold foil and high-purity sterling silver, with authenticity information provided for its pieces.
These materials are not simply added for visual effect; they help showcase the fine patterns, borders and motifs that make Koftgari craftsmanship immediately recognisable.

Handcrafted Decorative Daggers

The same attention to detail found in our swords continues through our handcrafted decorative daggers. Their smaller form gives artisans a different canvas for intricate Koftgari work, making them well suited to collectors, display settings and heritage-inspired gifting.
Explore gold dagger and silver dagger collections to see how traditional ornamentation can create very different personalities across each piece.

Rajputi Wedding & Ceremonial Swords

A wedding sword can carry meaning far beyond the ceremony itself. Rajputi wedding swords are closely associated with tradition, celebration and a sense of heritage, which is why many buyers look for a piece that feels considered rather than mass-produced.
Our wedding collection brings handcrafted detailing and Rajasthani influence into ceremonial pieces created to complement an important occasion and remain memorable long after it.

Why Choose Sikligar Arts

Sikligar Arts is built around the preservation of craftsmanship rather than mass production. Our work is connected to Udaipur's Koftgari tradition and to the artisans whose skill keeps that tradition alive. We focus on detailed workmanship, transparent material information and pieces that reflect the character of Indian decorative metalwork.
The brand also provides authenticity documentation for its pieces and offers personalised assistance for buyers who want to understand materials, detailing or collection options before making a decision.

Custom & Heirloom Pieces

Some pieces are chosen for a particular moment, family story or personal idea. For buyers looking for something more individual, Sikligar Arts accepts enquiries for custom projects. The level of detailing, material work and production time can vary according to the commission, so the best starting point is a conversation with the team.
