Four Door Showcase in Carved Teak with Painted Lower Panels

Four doors with shaped heads look like four of the same thing. They are not, and making them so is the mistake.

Each door head here is a shallow ogee - a curve that rises on one side and falls on the other. Cut all four to the same drawing and hang them in a row, and every one of them leans the same way. The eye follows that repeated slope and the whole cabinet appears to drift sideways, as though it were sliding gently towards one end.

So our master Indian artisans hand the doors in mirror pairs about the cabinet's centre line. The two doors right of centre carry the shape one way; the two to the left carry its mirror image. Each pair rises towards the middle and falls away at the outside.

The run then reads as symmetrical about its own centre, which is what the crest above and the carved apron below are also doing. Everything on the front agrees about where the middle is.

It costs nothing but a second template and the discipline to keep the left and right doors separated on the bench. Confuse them once during finishing and the whole effect is lost.

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

Configuration: four glazed doors with shaped ogee heads handed as mirror pairs about the centre; curved glazed end bays; panelled lower doors with hand painted floral panels.

Interior: glass shelves at matching heights across the bays, spacing to your requirement; adjustable supports available; lower door interiors planned with you; interior lighting available; interior finished to show standard.

Carving and finish: carved gilded crest, gilded cornice and mouldings, shaped carved apron, scrolled feet; white ground with hand painted panels, sealed for durability.

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

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

Glass shelves travel out of the cabinet, laid flat, interleaved and edge-guarded.

The glazed doors are secured closed, braced and protected across each pane; the curved end panes stay in their housings under shaped formers. Lower doors are secured shut.

A soft, clean non-abrasive layer goes against the white ground and the painted panels first - both show a rub immediately, and a painted panel shows it permanently.

The carved crest, the gilded cornice mouldings, the shaped apron and each scrolled foot 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 showcase is made to order, we confirm your finished dimensions, your shelf and storage layout, the painted design 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, painted panels 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 showcase reaches you - the frame, the glazed door construction and hinging, the glazing housings, the shelf supports, the lower doors, the cornice and crest joints, and the carved apron and feet.

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. Painted panels lie beneath the protective coats rather than on top of them and are repainted by hand in the same sequence if ever needed. Glazed door alignment is covered too - and a replacement door is cut to the correct hand for its position. Both warranties apply anywhere in India.
