About Us
As one of Pakistan’s preeminent antique houses, Himalayan Handicrafts has built its impeccable reputation by bringing only the finest examples of continental handicrafts to the marketplace. Our access to private sources both at home and abroad have given us the opportunity to satisfy a vast array of the world’s most revered interior designers as well as our private collectors. The foun
der of the company is my father Haji Sher Mohammad who started the business fourty years back in 1963. From this valley and with the grace of Allah and his efforts, within 10 years he was able to export his first consignment of handicrafts from this valley. In 1973, Hajji Sher Mohammad, a skilled businessman and the great admirer of antiques furniture, opened his first showroom at swat valley. Now under the direction of a second generation of Gul Mohammad, his company has been one of Pakistan’s premiere sources for both antiques and reproductions for thirty years. Haji Sher Mohammad still oversees all day-to-day restoration and reproduction operations of our workrooms, ensuring that quality is paramount in all our offerings. Today our Company has been exporting various kinds of handicrafts to Europe and to the United States. We carry wide range of antique furniture and antique jewelry; such as doors, cabinets, chairs, and a variety of many other sought after treasures. We collect these masterpieces of handicrafts from various parts of the country but most of the goods are from swat valley. In the valley one can see the extraordinary craftsmanship from ancient times in these masterpieces of handicrafts. Each piece of our extensive line of reproductions tells the story of one of the extraordinary antiques that have passed through our hands over the last 40 years. For the dealer who only offers the finest antiques available, parting with outstanding discoveries may be the most difficult part of the job. Our reproduction line has provided us with a means of recording our finds for posterity. By creating an archive of our greatest discoveries, we have been fortunate in sharing our rarest finds with our clients. Together, the Haji Sher Mohammad family continues to offer historically accurate reproductions of the highest quality alongside the most elegant and carefully restored original antiques available in Pakistan today.
