Handcrafted Teak
Wood Door Panel
Hand-carved teak with iron work. Preserved for centuries. No two the same.
This panel was a doorway before you were born. 65 inches of hand-carved teak, fitted with iron work and preserved across centuries — then reassembled so the craft wouldn't disappear. No two pieces are ever identical. When this one sells, that's the end of it.
Wooden Carved Door
Panel With Iron Work
Teak and iron. Hand-fitted. Preserved for centuries.
This isn't manufactured — it's assembled from centuries-old preserved pieces, high-quality teak wood with intricate iron work fitted together the way craftsmen used to. 62 inches tall. Every unit is unique in design and pattern. There is one. It's either in your house or it isn't.
Antique Wooden
Vintage Box
A box that held someone's entire world.
In Indian homes, the box held everything worth keeping — jewellery, land deeds, letters, a family's accumulated history. The brass fittings aren't decorative. They're armour for memory. This one is handmade, which means no two are ever exactly the same. You're getting the specific one in this photo.
We go to the
places they
came from.
When a haveli crumbles — when an ancestral home changes hands, when a village slowly empties — most of it becomes rubble. We carry out the part too beautiful to destroy.
We don't restore. We don't reproduce. Every piece comes to you exactly as it was found — with the age, the patina, the marks of use that no factory can put on something.
Naga Legacy
Bench
87 inches wide. Built to seat a village. Now it can seat yours.
This bench doesn't fit in a room — it defines one. Made to order by Naga artisans who have carried this tradition for generations. Where elders settled disputes, warriors returned, the whole village once gathered. In 15–20 days, it can be wherever you are.
Jaipur Elegance
Bench
Carved by families who have done nothing else for generations.
Lotus blooms and peacock motifs, hand-carved by Jaipur's hereditary craftsmen. This isn't a craft project — it's the accumulated knowledge of a family line. A bench that commands any room it enters. Available in Medium and Large, shipped in 7–10 days.
Antique Clay Pot
& Iron Stand
Made to hold water. Now it holds a room together.
Made to hold water. Used until it became something else — a still life that took decades to compose. The fired clay surface carries the memory of earth, heat, and daily use. The iron stand is wrought, not cast. There are three of these. Not three hundred.
Before you decide
Questions we hear often — answered honestly.
The panels, box, and clay pot are genuine antiques — sourced directly from havelis and old homes across India. The Naga and Jaipur benches are new handcrafted pieces by traditional artisans. Each listing makes this clear so you always know what you're buying.
Every piece is individually wrapped and packed with professional-grade material. Large or fragile items are crated where needed. We've shipped across India — the packaging is built around the piece, not the other way around.
Because each antique piece is one of a kind, we don't accept returns on a change-of-mind basis. If something arrives damaged, we'll make it right — send us photos within 48 hours of delivery and we'll resolve it directly. We stand behind every piece we sell.
