The Alsina Maison
Founded in 2021, Alsina gathers fifty of Moradabad's most skilled metalworkers under one roof — hands trained across generations, turning fire, hammer and patience into objects that outlive their owners.
The craft
Every Alsina piece begins as a flat disc and a fire. It is raised, chased, patinated and burnished entirely by hand — a single maker carrying one object from sheet to lustre. Nothing is rushed; nothing is repeated exactly.
- 01
The disc
Every piece begins as a flat disc of sheet metal and a fire. The maker chooses the gauge by the object it will become — and by hand, never machine.
- 02
Raising
Struck thousands of times against a stake, the flat sheet climbs into a vessel. The metal hardens as it rises and is annealed in fire to soften it again — over and over, for days.
- 03
Chasing
Line and ornament are walked into the surface with hammer and punch — from the front for relief, from the back for repoussé. Each maker's hand is recognisable to the others.
- 04
Patina
Colour is drawn from the metal with heat, time and a few quiet chemistries — antique, oxblood, verdigris or blackened — then arrested at the exact moment it is right.
- 05
Burnish
The surface is brought to its final lustre by hand against stone and steel. A piece is finished not when the clock says so, but when the maker can find nothing left to improve.

Better in the hand
“The vases have a lovely weight to them. You can see the handwork up close, which is what our customers tend to notice first. Beautifully packed, too.”

Sample review
Made to keep
“The lamp is now the first thing we switch on in the evening. The colour of the brass is softer than I expected, in the nicest possible way.”

Sample review
Worth the sample
“It is difficult to judge metal finishes on a screen. Having a sample made the decision easy. The final candle stands sit beautifully with the client's existing pieces.”

Care in every parcel
“Our first order was quite small, but the communication was still attentive. Each piece was wrapped separately, and the care notes were a helpful touch.”

A good working rhythm
“We had a few questions about dimensions before ordering. Getting clear answers made the process straightforward. The trays were a lovely addition to the project.”

The finishing details
“The brass finish was exactly what we were looking for — warm, but not too shiny. We ordered the sample first and came back for the full set of lamps.”
