Bring a piece of Bengal’s golden harvests into your home.
This exquisite piece of art is handcrafted using thousands of tiny slivers of natural rice straw. Our skilled artisans carefully select, flatten, and paste treated straw onto a velvet base to create a stunning contrast that glows like gold when it catches the light.
This specific piece depicts a quintessential rural Bengal landscape: a serene boat gliding on water, a humble hut by the shore, and the sun setting behind distant hills. It is not just art; it is a celebration of sustainability and the soul of the countryside.

-
Sustainable Decor: Made from agricultural byproduct (straw), making it a perfect gift for eco-conscious consumers.
-
Durable & Long-lasting: The straw is treated to prevent decay and maintain its golden hue for years.

Shipping & Delivery: Handcrafted Heritage
We take immense pride in the artistry of our Bengal Straw Crafts. Because these pieces are delicate and intricately handcrafted, we take extra steps to ensure they arrive at your doorstep in pristine condition, ready to adorn your walls.
1. Order Processing & Dispatch
-
Artisanal Handling: Each piece undergoes a final quality check before being prepared for shipment. We aim to process and dispatch all craft orders within 48–72 hours of order confirmation.
-
Secure Packaging: Unlike food items, our crafts require specialized "Shock-Proof" packaging. We use multiple layers of bubble wrap, edge protectors, and sturdy corrugated boxes to prevent any damage to the frame or the delicate straw inlay during transit.
2. All-India Delivery & Estimated Transit Time
-
Serviceable Areas: We deliver our traditional handicrafts to all serviceable pin codes across India.
-
Estimated Delivery: To ensure your art piece is handled with care by our premium courier partners, please allow the following timelines:
-
Metro Cities & Regional Hubs: Typically 4–6 business days after dispatch.
-
All Other Locations: Typically 6–8 business days after dispatch.
-
3. Shipping Charges
-
Pincode & Volume Based: Shipping charges are calculated dynamically at checkout based on your pin code and the volumetric weight of the framed art. This ensures you receive the fairest shipping rate for a fragile item.
4. Delivery Tracking & Inspection
-
Real-Time Updates: You will receive a confirmation email with a dedicated tracking ID as soon as your artwork is dispatched.
-
Safe Arrival Guarantee: We recommend filming a short "unboxing video" when you receive your package. In the rare event of transit damage to the frame or glass, this helps us process a replacement for you immediately.
-
At Bengal Treats, we strive to bring you the finest craftsmanship of Bengal. Since each rice straw art piece is handmade and involves delicate materials like glass and natural straw, our policy is designed to ensure the safety of the product and the satisfaction of our patrons.
1. Damage During Transit (Peace of Mind Guarantee)
We take extreme care in packaging, but we understand that glass and frames are fragile. If your order arrives damaged, we will replace it free of cost.
-
Mandatory Unboxing Video: To claim a replacement for transit damage, customers must record a clear video while opening the package for the first time.
-
Reporting Window: Any damage (broken glass, cracked frame) must be reported to us via email or WhatsApp within 24 hours of delivery, along with the unboxing video and photos of the outer box.
2. Handcrafted Variations
Please note that these are 100% handmade items using natural rice straw.
-
Natural Texture: Slight variations in the golden shade of the straw, grain texture, or minor alignment differences are not considered "defects." They are the hallmarks of authentic handmade art.
-
Color Accuracy: Depending on your screen brightness and settings, the actual product colors may vary slightly from what you see on your monitor.
3. Returns & Exchanges
-
Non-Returnable: Due to the fragile nature of framed art and the high risk of damage during return transit, we do not accept returns for "change of mind" or "style preference" once the order is delivered in good condition.
-
Cancellations: You may cancel your order within 12 hours of placement, provided it has not yet been dispatched. Once dispatched, cancellations are not possible.
4. Replacement Process
Once your damage claim is verified via the unboxing video:
-
We will arrange a reverse pickup (if applicable) or ask you to dispose of the damaged piece safely.
-
A fresh replacement piece will be dispatched within 3–5 business days.
-
If the specific design is out of stock, we will offer you an alternative design of the same value or a full refund.
-
To ensure your straw art stays beautiful for decades:
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays may fade the natural golden tint over several years.
-
Dusting: Clean the frame and glass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
-
Moisture Control: Keep in a dry indoor environment to prevent any moisture buildup behind the glass.
-
1. Is the "gold" color real paint or polish?
No, that is the beauty of this craft! The golden glow is the natural luster of the rice straw. Each strand is sun-dried and heat-treated to bring out its organic sheen. No artificial gold paint, dyes, or polishes are used on the straw itself.
2. Will the straw rot or attract insects over time?
Not at all. The rice straw undergoes a traditional treatment process to remove moisture and organic residues. This ensures the material remains dry, inert, and resistant to decay or pests, making it a long-lasting piece of home decor.
3. How do I clean the artwork?
Since the art is protected behind glass, you only need to clean the exterior. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the glass and the frame. Avoid using wet wipes or harsh chemicals on the frame, as moisture should not seep inside.
4. Is the frame included with the artwork?
Yes! Every piece of rice straw art from Bengal Treats comes fully framed and ready to hang. We use premium matte-finish frames that complement the golden straw work and fit perfectly in modern or traditional interiors.
5. Why does my piece look slightly different from the website photo?
Each piece is 100% handcrafted by local artisans. Because straw is a natural material, there will be slight variations in the shade of "gold" and the thickness of the strands. These subtle differences ensure that your piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind original.
6. Is this a traditional craft of Bengal?
Yes. While straw art exists in various cultures, the "Paddy Straw Craft" is a deep-rooted tradition in rural Bengal. It reflects the region’s agricultural heritage, where every part of the rice harvest—including the straw—is used creatively.
7. What if the glass breaks during shipping?
Don't worry! While we pack our items with multi-layered shock-proof materials, accidents can happen. If you receive a damaged piece, simply provide us with an unboxing video within 24 hours, and we will send you a replacement at no extra cost.
