Glass Cabinet in Carved Teak with Curved Bays and Ivory Finish

The real difference between a well-made glass cabinet and a cheap one is not visible on the outside. It is on the inside.

In an ordinary cupboard, the interior is a working surface: the back is a plain board, the underside of the top is left as it comes, shelf edges are square and unfinished, and the inside faces of the doors are given a coat and forgotten. Nobody sees any of it, so nobody spends time on it.

Glaze the doors and every one of those surfaces is now on display. A back board with a visible joint, a rough underside to the top, an unpolished shelf edge - all of it sits behind the glass in plain view, and no amount of carving on the outside distracts from it.

So our master Indian artisans finish the inside to the same standard as the outside. The back is made and finished as a show surface. The underside of the top is worked and polished. Shelf edges are eased and polished, not left as cut. The inside faces of the doors get the full finishing sequence.

It roughly doubles the finishing work on a cabinet like this, and it is invisible in a photograph. It is the difference you notice every day for thirty years, standing in front of it.

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

Configuration: four glazed bays with curved glazed ends and arched door heads; closed panelled base with a carved centre cartouche.

Interior: glass shelves with spacing to your requirement; adjustable supports available; interior lighting available; back in mirror, glass or panelled timber to choice.

Finishing: interior surfaces - back, underside of the top, shelf edges and inside door faces - finished to the same standard as the exterior.

Carving and finish: carved crest above the cornice, shaped carved apron, scrolled feet; ivory ground with pale gold carving, 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 - polished shelf edges chip more readily than cut ones, so each is guarded on all four sides.

The curved end panes stay in their housings under shaped formers supporting each curve across its whole face.

Glazed doors are secured closed, braced and protected across each pane; base doors are secured shut.

A soft, clean non-abrasive layer goes against the ivory ground first, since a pale finish shows a rub immediately.

The carved crest, 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 cabinet 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, which matters more on a glazed piece than a solid one.

The solid teak carcass and its joinery carry a 20-year warranty from the day the cabinet 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. Interior surfaces are covered on the same terms as exterior ones, which follows from finishing them to the same standard in the first place. Glazed door alignment is covered too. Both warranties apply anywhere in India.
