Display Cabinet with Mirror Back in Pearl White and Gold

The legs on this cabinet are cut twice from one square blank, and the offcuts from the first cut are needed for the second.

A cabriole leg curves in two planes at once - it sweeps forward at the knee and back at the ankle, and it does the same thing when seen from the side. You cannot saw that shape out of a flat board. It is cut from a square section of timber with the profile marked on two adjacent faces.

The first cut follows the shape on one face. The moment it is made, the blank is no longer square, and the profile drawn on the second face is now floating in mid-air where the waste used to be. So the offcuts are not discarded - they are taped straight back onto the blank, restoring the square, and the second cut is made through the reassembled block. Only then does the waste come away, and the leg emerges curved in both directions.

Shaping, carving the knee and finishing the pad foot all follow by hand. Four legs are worked stage by stage together, so no one leg gets ahead of the set.

Material: solid teak in the carcass, door frames, centre column, base rail and legs.

Doors: two glazed doors meeting at a hand-fluted centre column.

Ends: glazed full height.

Back: mirrored across the full width and height of the display section.

Interior: glass shelves on concealed supports.

Legs: hand-cut cabriole legs, carved at the knee, shaped in two planes from a square blank.

Carving: pierced crest with central cartouche, scrolled borders to the doors, shaped and carved base rail.

Finish: pearl white ground with gold applied by hand to carving, column and leg fronts.

Made to order: height, width, depth, shelf count and spacing, and finish are all customisable. Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Mirror and slender legs are the two things that need real protection here.

The mirror is removed from the carcass, taped in a grid across its full face so an impact cannot spread, sleeved in foam and crated flat on its own.

Each cabriole leg is detached where the design allows, sleeved in foam along its length and boxed with blocking at the ankle, which is the slimmest point and the one that takes a knock.

The glazed doors are unhung and crated flat, panes taped and foam-sleeved individually.

The carcass is wrapped in acid-free tissue directly against the pearl finish, then foam sheet, then bubble wrap, with extra padding around the carved crest and the gilded scrollwork.

Everything travels in hardwood crates with corner protection at every arris, marked for orientation and lift points. Multi-layer protective packaging is included on every order at no extra cost.

Delivery is free anywhere in India, with dent-free arrival guaranteed. No distance charge, no size charge, no handling fee.

Production starts once your dimensions are confirmed in writing. We send photographs of your actual cabinet as it goes - the carcass, the four legs worked as a set, the carving, the pearl and gold finish, and the cabinet with the mirror and glass fitted.

On site, our team assembles and levels the cabinet on its legs first - a cabinet on legs must be true in both directions before glass goes in - then fits the mirror, hangs the doors and installs the glass shelves.

Send us lift dimensions, stair turns and doorway widths before dispatch so the route can be planned. Every photograph on this page is of the actual product, not a render.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the carcass, the door frames, the centre column, the base rail and, most importantly on a cabinet like this, the joints where the legs meet the case.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with the piece and never expires. Teak's natural oils protect it from within, and our warranty backs that for as long as you own the cabinet.

Glass, mirror, shelves, shelf supports and hardware are covered against manufacturing defect. The mirror is cut to your own cabinet and its size stays on our records.

The pearl finish and the hand-applied gold are logged against your order number, so a later retouch can be matched exactly rather than approximated. Contact us with your order number whenever you need service.
