Michael and Henrietta Spink Ltd offers the opportunity to create the 'earthly
paradise' of Mughal or Islamic buildings and gardens in a
contemporary environment using marble and sandstone which
has been handcarved to the highest standards. Using the same
materials found in classical Indian and Islamic buildings,
we are able to create designs suitable for any space, both
internal and external. Marble fountains, planters and water
features such as waterchutes, combine with tables and other
furnishings richly inlaid with lapis lazuli, carnelian, malachite
and other hardstones. Carved sandstone 'jali' screens allow
patterns of light and cooling breezes to refresh the hottest
day; their delicate tracery can create space and light in
any room.
The
Directors of Michael and Henrietta Spink Ltd have many years of
experience in Indian and Islamic art and design. They work
with highly skilled artisans and professionals to ensure
that every project is completed to the best possible standard.
Each design comes with scale drawings and a full specification,
and we can offer an installation service for architectural
and garden fittings.
We
can supply single items such as fountains or jali screens,
or we can create full scale interiors for modern buildings
using motifs drawn from historic buildings ensuring a unity
of pattern in the design concept (such as a room using exclusively
Shah Jahan period motifs). We can also design Islamic gardens
and fit them out to echo the coolness of an enclosed Moorish
courtyard or the grandeur of the Mughal gardens of Kashmir.
