Wood Carving Center in Palembang Indonesia

The wood carving center in Palembang is located on Faqih Jalaluddin Street, near the Palembang Grand Mosque.  Dozens of showrooms, which are also used to give finishing touches to wood carvings, are available in this city center.  Palembang wood carvings, which are identified by dark red and golden colors, are displayed along this street.

You can also find unfinished products, those which have not been softened or painted.  Workers in each shop usually give their final touch before sale.

Gold is the most dominant color in Palembang carvings.  It distinguishes Palembang carvings from carving products from other parts of Indonesia, such as Jepara in Central Java.
Cupboards bodies, doors, or glass, as well as picture frames are usually painted in gold color.  Other parts are covered by dark red and black colors.  Pictures of flowers in black make these carvings more beautiful.
