Welcome to Maeraas - where heritage meets home decor!
In a world of fleeting trends, Maeraas stands as a sanctuary of heritage art, where every piece tells a story, and the threads of history are interwoven with love, passion, and an unwavering commitment to preserving our cultural legacy.
How we started
At the heart of our business is a captivating tale that spans generations. Our story begins with our owner, Amara, a dreamer whose family's journey from India to Pakistan was marked by both heartache and hope. As they traveled, they carried with them not just the weight of their memories but also a treasure trove of heirlooms - pieces that held within them the essence of their past and the dreams of their future.
Growing up surrounded by these exquisite pieces, Amara developed a deep appreciation for heritage art. The intricate patterns whispered stories of love and loss, while the colors evoked memories of festivals and celebrations. Each piece, an invitation to journey back in time and connect with a heritage that had shaped their identity. These heirlooms became a lifeline, connecting Amara to a heritage that was as vibrant as it was fragile.
As years turned into decades, Amara felt a deep calling—a responsibility to safeguard these fragments of history and share them with the world. Fuelled by her passion for preserving these cultural gems, Amara embarked on a passionate quest to collect and revive these forgotten treasures. From the narrow lanes of forgotten villages to the bustling markets of heritage cities, she traveled far and wide, collecting rare pieces, hearing stories whispered by seasoned hands, and witnessing the unyielding dedication of artists striving to preserve their art form against the tides of change.
The launch of Maeraas became the realization of that calling—a labor of love that would allow others to experience the magic of heritage art.
With Maeraas, Amara has created a haven for art enthusiasts, collectors, and those seeking to infuse their living spaces with a touch of history and elegance. Here, she presents a curated collection of unique and captivating home décor pieces that transcend time and captivate the imagination. Each piece in our collection has been carefully selected for its artistic merit, historical significance, and ability to infuse your living spaces with a touch of traditional charm.
We take great pride in supporting skilled artisans and craftsmen who have dedicated their lives to mastering traditional techniques. By sourcing directly from these talented individuals and communities, we not only ensure the authenticity and integrity of our collection but also contribute to the preservation of these time-honored art forms.
At Maeraas, we invite you to immerse yourself in a world where we breathe life into forgotten masterpieces, revive ancient techniques, and celebrate the artisans who bring these treasures to life. Let us create spaces that honor our past, celebrate our present, and inspire our future through the beauty of our shared heritage.

The distinction between "In Stock" and "Preorder" items is important to make your shopping experience clear and transparent: *In Stock Items:* These are products that are readily available and can be shipped to you as soon as you place your order. They are in our inventory and ready for immediate delivery. *Preorder Items:* Preorder items are products that are not currently in stock but can be reserved in advance. When you preorder an item, you are essentially reserving it, and we'll craft it just for you. Preorder processing times vary between 3-4 weeks. This allows you to secure unique or high-demand items before they become available to the general public. If you have any specific questions about a particular item or its availability, feel free to reach out to our customer support team for further information.

Yes, our metal collection is crafted from pure brass and copper, which may naturally oxidize over time. This patina adds character and charm to the items. If you prefer to maintain their original shine, here are some tips: 1. *Regular Cleaning:* Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. 2. *Polishing:* Use a specialized metal polish to restore the shine. Follow the product's instructions carefully. 3. *Avoid Moisture:* Keep your metal items dry and store them in a cool, dry place. 4. *Prevent Scratches:* Handle with care to avoid scratches, which can affect the patina. Remember that the natural patina can be part of the item's beauty and history, so whether you decide to preserve the shine or let it evolve, your metal pieces will continue to tell their unique story.
