Living Room Showcase in Carved Teak with Six Glazed Doors

On a cabinet this wide the eye reads the vertical lines before it reads anything else, and there is a problem hidden in them.

Between two doors there is a carcass post - a structural member carrying shelves and taking hinges from both sides. At the outer edge of a door there is a door stile - a much lighter member doing much less. Left to their natural sizes, the post would be noticeably wider than the stiles, and across six doors you would get a rhythm of thin-thin-thick-thin-thin that nobody designed and everybody notices.

So our master Indian artisans decide the visible width first and build backwards from it. The structural post is made whatever depth it needs to be, but it is rebated so that only a face of the agreed width shows from the front - the rest of its bulk sits behind the plane of the doors, out of sight.

The result is that every vertical line across the front of the cabinet is the same width, whether it is holding the building up or not.

Nobody looks at a showcase and admires its even stile widths. They just find the cabinet calm rather than busy, and that is the whole objective.

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

Configuration: six glazed doors with curved glazed ends; glass shelves running at matching heights across all bays; drawer in the centre base.

Construction: structural carcass posts rebated so every visible vertical member across the front reads the same width.

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

Carving and finish: carved crest above the cornice, gilded centre cartouche, carved and gilded apron, shaped carved feet; pearl white 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.

Six glazed doors means six separate risks, and each is packed as one: secured closed, braced, and protected across its full pane so nothing bears on the glass.

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

The curved end panes stay in their housings and are supported by shaped formers across their whole curve.

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

The carved crest, the gilded cartouche, the carved apron along the base and each shaped 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, whatever the size of the cabinet.

A showcase this wide makes the access conversation essential, and we have it before production. Your finished dimensions and your doorway widths, stair turns and lift size are confirmed in writing, and where access requires it the cabinet is built to separate into sections that assemble in the room, with the cornice and apron fitted on site so their runs stay continuous.

Once complete it is packed as described and dispatched with a carrier used to handling large 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 showcase reaches you - the frame and posts, the glazed door construction and hinging, the glazing housings, the shelf supports, the drawer runners, 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, drawer, 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. Alignment across all six doors is covered - on a run this wide the doors are hung as a set and any that drops or binds is adjusted against the others rather than in isolation. Both warranties apply anywhere in India.
