JOG NIWAS PALACE

Art of Perfume Making by Shanane Davis Connoisseurship classes, Jog Niwas, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India
Gajendra Shanane is India’s only indigenous luxury brand. This unique enterprise, truly a labor of love, restores the finest of India’s pre-modern arts to the world's connoisseurs. On the eve of colonial rule, India’s fine and decorative arts rivalled the best in the world. From its perfumes, lacquer, paper, stone carving and jewellery to its staggering range of textiles famed the world over, India’s courtly arts depended on secret, labour intensive, ingenious processes that took generations to invent and perfect. The colonial era saw the demise of many of these arts as industrialization taught India’s buyers to settle for cheaper products that only shabbily resembled what its elite had once cultivated and prized. Few now understand the nuances that distinguish the finest hand-loomed pashmina shawls, for example, from lesser-quality jacquard loomed substitutes, or can appreciate the level of thewa (a unique Indian technique for melding gold and glass) that India’s elite patrons and artisans once collaborated to sustain. Gajendra Shanane brings this luxury back to the world’s most discerning buyers. India’s first true luxury brand, Gajendra Shanane is dedicated to reintroducing South Asia’s finest decorative and wearable art to global connoisseurs. Gajendra Shanane’s secret lies in a historically and technically deep knowledge of India’s artisanal processes, the fostering of respectful, informed, lasting relationships with a selection of India’s few remaining top-level artisanal masters, and a dedication to educating its clientele in the connoisseurship and acquisition of India’s most lavish and rare arts.
From the Pallava and Chola to the Chandella, Chouhan, Rathore and Mughal courts, India’s nobles have understood loyal patronage relations with skilled artists and artisans to be essential to a healthy and prosperous society. In this society, beauty was a virtue in which all shared, not a commercial frivolity for the wealthy few. Fostered by a sophisticated patronage system, India’s royal karkhanas (workshops) developed hundreds of processes to work wonders with silk, cotton, pashmina, wood, precious metals, gemstones, glass, terracotta, fragrant oils, leather, hard stone, paper, lacquer, and mineral/vegetable based dyes. Families invented world famous proprietary methods to ensure each generation would continue to thrive and progress unchallenged. But with the tragic loss of patronage in the 19th and 20th centuries, many artisanal secrets went to the grave with masters who saw no point in encouraging their sons to learn arts that were no longer understood. Gajendra Shanane is dedicated to reversing this decline to remind the world why Indian beauty was once celebrated as the apex of human achievement. They seek out traditional techniques and processes that have been lost, and natural raw materials that can be responsibly and sustainably sourced. The aspiration is to turn buyers away from brands and products buoyed by a rhetoric of luxury towards a true luxury brand, Gajendra Shanane, that is socially and environmentally sustaining, that preaches and practices the high-quality materials and workmanship that are the essence of true luxury, and that thereby returns traditional aesthetics to material culture.

Shanane Davis at Jog Niwas: My family has collected South Asian art for four generations
Shanane Davis lives in Jodhpur, India at Jog Niwas where she has followed her passion and dedication to educate, revive, conserve and promote the historic fine and decorative arts of India along with their intellectual thought and historic patronage systems. Her expertise is in multiple Indian fine and decorative arts, their art history, processes and connoisseurship.
Over the last decade, Shanane Davis has been involved in reviving 46 different high-level Indian art mediums to their historic level. Some of these mediums had become extinct and on some, the quality was quite low as over the last decades the culture of patronage, the supply of high-quality raw materials, design
techniques and aesthetic understanding had broken down. Utilizing her extensive knowledge and expertise in these subjects her home Jog Niwas was created as an education centre in the format of an interior salon under the label of GajendraShanane to showcase important South Asian material, culture, and its intellectual thought processes. Students, scholars, art collectors and those that wish to learn more on these mediums; Indian material cultures and the art of connoisseurship come to Jog Niwas to be taught by her to further their interest and knowledge.
Shanane Davis considers herself fortunate and privileged to be brought up in a tradition of material culture education and connoisseurship that was passed down for 13 generations in her family that focused on the vital importance of material culture to create a healthy and prosperous society. Each generation has
been vigorously taught from an early age, she was 6 when her training began. She comes from an Irish background that had strong ties to South Asia where 4 generations ago her great grandfather started to collect South Asian art and document the processes of the various proprietary art and intellectual mediums.
She discovered that she is a natural teacher, which she adores, with a gift of educating by using storytelling that brings the listener into the world that is being taught. She has found that a non-scholar approach to educating in complex thoughts and material culture has been a fundamental key. She loves to share her knowledge, to re-educate on the present mainstream thought on what is believed to be material culture, why generational material culture is vital to an individual and society and to help protect and promote awareness for its survival.
