Aligarh, a historic city in Uttar Pradesh, holds a distinguished place in India’s artistic and industrial map for its brass craftsmanship and lock-making tradition. The art of brasswork here dates back to the 18th century, flourishing during the Mughal and early British periods when Aligarh became a major hub for metal art and engineering. The city’s artisans mastered the process of alloying copper and zinc to form brass, which they skillfully molded into locks, utensils, idols, and ornamental pieces. Over time, Aligarh’s brass industry evolved from creating purely functional hardware to producing intricate decorative artifacts, religious figures, and home décor items that reflect both artistic finesse and mechanical precision.
The process begins with melting brass sheets or scrap metal, casting them into sand or clay molds, and then hand-finishing each piece through filing, engraving, and polishing. Many artisans also use traditional chasing and embossing methods, enriching the surface with motifs inspired by Mughal floral patterns, geometric borders, and traditional Indian iconography. The lustrous golden hue of Aligarh brassware symbolizes prosperity and craftsmanship, making it highly valued in both domestic and international markets.
