Welcome to Chapeywallah, a legacy steeped in tradition and craftsmanship, where every stroke tells a story of heritage and dedication. As the custodians of a time-honored art form, we take pride in preserving the legacy of hand-carved wooden printing blocks, passed down through three generations of the Rathor family.
Established in 1956 by the visionary Late Shri Ram Rathor, Chapeywallah began as a humble endeavor in the heart of India, with a commitment to preserving the art of wooden stamp making. Since then, our family has dedicated itself to perfecting the craft, honing skills that have been passed down through the generations.
At Chapeywallah, craftsmanship is more than just a skill—it’s a way of life. Under the guidance of Ashish Kumar Rathor, the third-generation torchbearer of our legacy, we continue to uphold the highest standards of quality and precision in every piece we create.
Our specialization lies in the meticulous art of hand-carved wooden printing blocks, crafted primarily from sheesham and teak wood. Each block is carefully sculpted by skilled artisans, following age-old techniques that have been refined over decades. The result? Exquisite designs that evoke a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance.
While we honor tradition, we also embrace innovation at Chapeywallah. By marrying traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, we strive to push the boundaries of wooden stamp making, ensuring that our designs remain relevant in today’s ever-evolving landscape.
As stewards of the environment, we are committed to sustainable practices at every step of the production process. We source our wood responsibly, ensuring that each piece is ethically harvested and environmentally friendly. Additionally, we strive to minimize waste and reduce our carbon footprint, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of our craft.
When you choose Chapeywallah, you’re not just purchasing a product—you’re investing in a piece of history. Each of our wooden printing blocks carries with it the legacy of generations, crafted with passion, precision, and a deep-rooted love for our craft. Whether you’re a textile artist, a designer, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of handcrafted goods, we invite you to experience the magic of Chapeywallah.
