Gajgamini Brass Urli Grand Centrepiece Set

The biggest piece we make, with everything it needs around it. The Gajgamini is our most substantial brass urli - if you host rather than attend, this is the arrangement that holds a long table without anything added to it.

What's in the set

• 1 x Gajgamini Brass Urli - solid brass, hand-chased, and the heaviest urli in our range. Named for the elephant-graced gait of classical Indian description, and built to be the object a room arranges itself around.
• 1 x Metal Hammered Platter - Gold - a hand-hammered tray whose texture breaks up the light. Sits beside or beneath the urli.
• 2 x Grey Glass Votive Holder - smoked grey glass. The cool note that stops an all-brass table reading flat.

Why these four pieces

Brass on brass on brass goes muddy under warm light. The hammered platter gives the eye a second texture at the same tone, and the grey glass gives it a different temperature entirely - which is what makes the group look composed rather than simply matched. Scale does the rest: one large object with supporting pieces reads as intention, where a scatter of small ones reads as clutter.

Styling it

Fill the urli with water to about two-thirds, float marigold or rose heads, then add three to five floating tealights. Set the hammered platter slightly off-centre beside it rather than directly underneath - the asymmetry is warmer. Place the two votives at the outer edges so the light runs the length of the table. After Diwali the urli holds beautifully dry, on a sideboard or entry console.

Care

Solid brass darkens with time and water contact - many families prefer it that way and polish only before a festival. Empty and dry the urli after each use; standing water is what causes spotting. Polish with a lemon-and-salt paste or brass polish, then dry completely. Wipe the hammered platter with a soft dry cloth only, avoiding abrasives on the finish. Glass votives wash by hand.
