Four Door Wardrobe in Carved Teak with Ivory and Silver Finish

You can tell how a wardrobe was made by looking at the gaps between its doors.

On a four door run there are three vertical lines of light, and the eye compares them without being asked to. If one is wider at the top than the bottom, or one is simply fatter than its neighbours, the whole piece looks cheap no matter how good the carving is. Nothing else on a wardrobe is inspected so unconsciously and so severely.

So our master Indian artisans hang all four doors as a set before any of them is finished, then plane the meeting edges until every gap is the same width and dead parallel top to bottom. It is checked by sighting along the closed doors towards a light - a line of light is far more revealing than a rule, because the eye that will judge the finished wardrobe is the same eye doing the checking.

Only then is the arched cartouche carved across the two centre doors. It has to be cut with the doors hung and closed, in place, so the scrollwork meets exactly across the joint. Carve the two doors separately on a bench and the pattern will be a hair out when they are hung - and a hair is all it takes.

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

Configuration: four doors - two bowed outer doors and two centre doors carrying a carved arch and cartouche across the pair.

Carving: carved cornice across the full width, corner sprays on the outer doors, arched cartouche and lower scroll on the centre pair, shaped and carved plinth.

Finish: hand-applied ivory ground with silvered ornament, sealed for durability.

Interior: planned to your requirements - hanging rails, shelving, drawers, shoe storage, lockable compartments and interior mirrors all available.

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

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

Photography: images show the actual product, not renders.

A wardrobe is the largest thing we ship, and it is packed with two risks in mind: impact on the carved cornice and plinth, which project furthest, and door movement inside the crate.

Every door is secured closed and additionally braced, so nothing can swing or work against its hinges during handling. A soft non-abrasive layer goes against the finished surfaces first - an ivory finish shows a rub plainly - then foam is shaped around the cornice, the corner sprays, the arched cartouche and the plinth rather than pressed onto them.

Internal fittings travel fitted where possible and packed separately where they would be at risk loose.

The whole carcass then goes into a rigid outer crate with cushioning on every face, corner protection at all eight corners, and strapping that prevents movement.

This multi-layer protective packaging is why we guarantee dent-free arrival. Please open and inspect while the delivery team is still with you.

Delivery is free across India - no freight charge, no distance surcharge, and no difference between a metro address and a smaller town, regardless of the wardrobe's size.

Because every wardrobe is made to order, we confirm not only your finished dimensions in writing but also your access dimensions - doorway widths, stair turns, lift size - before production begins. On a piece this large that conversation prevents the single most common delivery problem there is, and where access requires it we build the wardrobe to knock down into sections that assemble in the room.

Once complete, the wardrobe is packed as described and dispatched with a carrier used to handling large carved furniture. 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.

The solid teak carcass and its joinery carry a 20-year warranty from the day the wardrobe reaches you - the frame, the door construction, the joints of the cornice and plinth, and the internal structure carrying rails and shelves.

Lifetime cover against termite damage applies for the life of the furniture rather than a fixed term. This matters more in a wardrobe than in almost anything else: a wardrobe is a large enclosed volume standing against a wall, and it is exactly the sort of place termites go unnoticed. Because the piece is seasoned solid teak throughout - carcass, doors, backs and internal fittings - there is no board core anywhere for them to reach, and the timber's own oils deter them.

If a warranty issue arises, send us photographs and we will assess and repair or replace. Door alignment is covered: if a gap ever opens or a door drops, we adjust or rehang it. Both warranties apply anywhere in India and travel with the furniture.
