Attraction of wooden and metal boxes
Craft work has
attracted people right from the start i.e., from ancient times. Boxes
made up of wood and metal are still being used by the people, but
yes, now they come in varying designs and sizes.
Craft work is
one of the main areas of interest for art lovers, right from the
ancient times. Almost every major ancient civilisation seems to be a
craft lover and left traces of it. We can see the examples of ancient
craft on the metals found in India, China, Egypt and Greece.
Beautiful craft works can be found in almost all the civilisations
and communities which ruled over India. The ancient Indus Valleys
civilisation and Vedic civilisation, Mauryan civilisation, Mughal
umpire, British umpire etc., did the good work in developing the
craft culture. Apart from these, the craft work of Chinese and
Egyptian civilisations also attracted the art lovers. If we pay
attention towards wooden art, then we would find the use of wooden
art in ancient India in every walk of life. Doors, pillars, dolls for
children etc., are the examples of ancient wooden craft.
In
the modern times also, artists are developing and designing different
types of things made up of wood and other metals. These include
different types of utensils, boxes etc. Wooden and metal boxes are
the main items which seem to attract almost every category of people.
Boxes are made up for satisfying different purposes. Moreover, these
items come in different types of designs. Boxes are the best items
which are utilised for keeping the luggage when you are on move.
These are also often used to keep the household items at home. The
wooden boxes are best suitable for keeping jewellery items and
packaging of gifts. Heavy metal boxes are required to store large
amount of items at ease.
Wooden boxes are specially made
up of exotic wood and intricate carvings. Mahogany, oak and walnut
trees are taken into consideration to make these boxes. The boxes are
made by the expert craftsmen with some special skills. These boxes
are often carved out of wood, beautifully and have hammered metals.
These boxes are comprised of different sizes. Most of the designer
metal boxes come with beautiful meenakari show pieces and handicrafts. The
handmade boxes are another sort of attractions these days. These
types of boxes are often made by the people from small villages. They
are the result of their hard work. It takes a long time in making
them. But, their beauty infuses the attraction of art lovers.
Apart
from the wooden boxes, these items are made up of other metals also
to attract the attention of people. These can be made up of bronze,
iron, stainless steel etc. Some of these devices are used for
packaging purposes. Like wooden devices, some of the items made by
metals are also used for keeping the jewelery. Now, in the age of
information technology, the uses of the metal boxes have been
enhanced. Now, the metal items are also being used for keeping
computer and electronics utilities. In this context, the sockets,
CPUs, monitors etc., are kept in the boxes. However, these gadgets
are not made up of artistic designs mentioned above. These are the
items made up of plane metal crafts just for the sake of keeping
goods.
Another type of metal items are cans and metal tin
boxes. These are often used for keeping beverages, paints etc. These
types of devices are purely used for professional purposes.
Manufacturers of the items use these items to pack and sell their
products. These boxes often come in cuboid shapes with a tiny cork on
the top of the box. On the front of the box, you will find the label
of the brand whose product resides inside the box.
Boxes
are so useful, that we are using it from the ancient times. However,
the use of these items have changed a lot, or it can be said
enhanced, now. For sure, as long as the civilisations exist, these
items will exist. Wooden and metal boxes will continue to attract the
people because of their useful nature.
