Indian Silver by S. K. Pathak is a beautifully illustrated study of India's rich tradition of silver craftsmanship, tracing the history, artistry, and cultural significance of silver across the Indian subcontinent. Published by Roli Books (Timeless), the book explores silver's role in Indian life—from royal treasuries and temple rituals to everyday household objects and tribal adornments. It examines how silver has been fashioned into jewelry, coins, utensils, ceremonial objects, perfume containers, betel boxes, and decorative masterpieces using techniques refined over centuries.

Drawing upon examples from museums, palaces, private collections, and traditional workshops, S. K. Pathak presents the evolution of Indian silverwork through historical narratives and exceptional photography. The book discusses regional styles, metalworking techniques such as repoussé, engraving, chasing, casting, and filigree, while highlighting the artistic diversity found across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Odisha, Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, and other regions. It serves as an excellent reference for collectors, historians, designers, jewelers, and anyone interested in India's decorative arts and material culture.
