Care Instructions

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. Apply teak oil or beeswax polish every 6–12 months to nourish the wood and maintain its warm lustre. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or fading.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Every element — from the intricate jali splats to the scrolled armrests and carved feet — is shaped by hand by master woodworkers. The rich patina is the result of decades of natural aging, making each bench a one-of-a-kind heirloom.

Heritage & Tradition

The baithak bench was a centrepiece of Indian household culture — a place for conversation, rest, and welcome. This piece carries that legacy forward, blending Anglo-Indian craftsmanship with Rajasthani carving traditions.

Styling Suggestions

Place at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or along a verandah wall. Pairs beautifully with dhurrie rugs, brass lanterns, stone floors, and earthy linen cushions. Add a seat cushion in block-print fabric for a layered, editorial look.
