Our Story - From Heritage to Heirloom

The Story of House of Saaj

This was never meant to be a store.

House of Saaj began as a way of seeing—

a belief that objects shaped by hand, memory, and time

still belong in the everyday.

Not as artifacts.

Not as décor.

But as quiet presences that hold meaning

long after trends move on.

A Different Approach to Curation

Curation, for us, is an act of responsibility.

We choose slowly.

We choose with restraint.

We choose what can be lived with,

not just looked at.

Every piece here carries a lineage—

of material, of gesture, of patience.

Our role is not to modernize these objects

or explain them away,

but to place them carefully

so they may continue.

What We Work With

House of Saaj curates heritage arts and crafts of India

as they have been practiced and passed down—

through painting, wood, metal, clay, fiber, and form.

The work you encounter here emerges from

multi-generational knowledge,

regional languages of making,

and traditions refined through repetition rather than reinvention.

These are not mass-produced interpretations.

They are small-batch works shaped by human hands,

intended to gather presence through use.

What We Protect

What we protect is not a style.

We protect ways of making that were never meant to be hurried.

Our work supports artisans—many of them rural and women-led—

whose livelihoods depend on the continuity of their craft.

By placing these objects into homes where they are valued and lived with,

we help ensure that these practices remain viable,

relevant,

and respected.

Heritage survives not by preservation alone,

but by participation.

What This House Is For

House of Saaj exists for homes that value meaning over display.

For those who understand that beauty can be quiet,

that objects carry memory,

and that some things reveal themselves only over time.

This is not a destination for browsing.

It is a place for recognition.

If something here feels familiar

before it feels new,

that recognition is intentional.
