/ The hub

The city of glass — furnace-fired since the Mughals.

Firozabad is the only large-scale hand-blown glass cluster in India. Fifty kilometres south of Agra, two hundred furnaces run continuously — producing chandeliers, vases, decanters, decorative glass, lighting. The industry traces its lineage to Mughal-era glass-bangle makers.

We work with eight master furnace houses here, including the two oldest. A chandelier order moves through the furnace, the cutter, the polisher, the brass-arm assembler, the wirer and the QC bench — all within a 4 km radius. The complete supply chain is on one street.

Glass exports come with one risk: damage. Our Firozabad partners pack every chandelier individually in air-cell foam, then wood-crate per ISPM-15 spec. Damage rate at destination across the past 12 months: 0.4%. Industry average: 2.1%.

A chandelier here passes through eleven pairs of hands before it leaves the workshop. That's not a flaw. That's the product.

Factory atmosphere.

From the foundry pour to the assembly bench. We visit every partner unit twice a year minimum — for full audit, sampling, and relationship-keeping.

Six-stage
production.

Every piece moves through the same six stages — from raw material to container loading. Each stage QC-checked, each handoff documented.

Furnace pull

Molten glass pulled from 1,200°C furnace. Hand-blown into shape on the blow-iron.

02

Shaping

Cup shaped on marver. Annealed slowly to relieve stress. Edges trimmed.

03

Cutting

Decorative cuts made by hand on a grinding wheel. Polished to optical clarity.

04

Brass arms

Brass arms cast separately in Muradabad. Polished and electroplated.

05

Assembly

Cups, arms, bobeches, droppers wired together. Test-fired for stability.

06

Crating

Each piece air-cell wrapped, then ISPM-15 wooden crate. Container loading photo-documented.
