Display Unit in Carved Teak with Glazed Doors and Panelled Base

On a plain cabinet the mouldings are the design, and a moulding is not a shape - it is a shadow.

Every moulded profile works by catching light on its convex parts and holding darkness in its hollows. Two profiles that look almost identical drawn in section can read completely differently on a finished cabinet, because one throws a crisp dark line and the other throws a soft grey smudge. Which happens depends on the depth of the hollow, the sharpness of the arris between the members, and above all on where the light in the room is coming from.

None of that can be judged from a drawing. So our master Indian artisans run short sample lengths of each candidate profile, finish them in the actual colour of the cabinet, and stand them up in the light they will live in. A profile that reads well in workshop daylight can go flat under a ceiling fitting; one that looks fussy on the bench can be exactly right on a cornice at ceiling height.

The profile is chosen from the samples, not the section drawing. On a cabinet with this little ornament, it is the whole difference between crisp and characterless.

Material: solid teak carcass, doors and frame, hand-carved. No veneer, no engineered board.

Configuration: four glazed doors with shaped heads, canted glazed end bays, glass shelves; panelled closed base.

Mouldings: profiles selected from finished samples viewed in room light rather than from section drawings.

Interior: shelf spacing to your requirement; adjustable supports available; base interior planned with you; interior lighting available; back in mirror, glass or panelled timber to choice; interior finished to show standard.

Carving and finish: carved centre crest, moulded cornice, gilded panel beads, shaped carved apron, carved feet; cream ground with gilded mouldings, sealed for durability.

Sizes: custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Warranty: 20 years on the solid teak carcass and joinery; lifetime cover against termite damage.

On a cabinet whose design lives in its mouldings, a crushed arris is the damage that matters most, so every moulded edge is protected along its full run rather than only at the corners.

Glass shelves travel out of the cabinet, laid flat, interleaved and edge-guarded. Glazed doors are secured closed, braced and protected across each pane; the canted end panes stay in their housings under shaped support.

Base doors are secured shut.

A soft, clean non-abrasive layer goes against the cream ground first, since a pale finish shows a rub immediately, and the carved crest, shaped apron and feet receive individually shaped protection.

The carcass enters a rigid outer crate with cushioning on every face, corner protection at all eight corners, and strapping that prevents movement. This is why dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

Delivery is free across India - no freight charge, no distance surcharge, and no difference between a metro address and a smaller town.

Because every unit is made to order, we confirm your finished dimensions, your shelf and base layout and your access dimensions - doorway widths, stair turns, lift size - in writing before production begins. Where access requires it, the cabinet is built to separate into sections that assemble in the room.

Once complete it is packed as described and dispatched with a carrier used to handling carved furniture and glass. You are contacted ahead of delivery so someone can be present.

Arrival is guaranteed dent-free. If any transit damage has occurred, photograph it while the delivery team is present and contact us - we will resolve it. On site the cabinet is levelled before the shelves are fitted.

The solid teak carcass and its joinery carry a 20-year warranty from the day the unit reaches you - the frame, the glazed door construction and hinging, the glazing housings, the shelf supports, the base doors, and the cornice and crest joints.

Lifetime cover against termite damage applies for the life of the furniture rather than a fixed number of years. Because the piece is seasoned solid teak throughout - carcass, doors, back and internal fittings - there is no board core anywhere for insects to reach.

If a warranty issue arises, send us photographs and we will assess and repair or replace. Mouldings are run fresh to the original profile if ever damaged, rather than filled - on a plain cabinet a filled moulding shows immediately, because the shadow line is what the eye is reading. Glazed door alignment is covered too. Both warranties apply anywhere in India.
