Six Door Wardrobe in Carved Teak with Ivory and Blue Panels

A serpentine front is not six curved doors. It is one curve that happens to be cut into six pieces, and that distinction is the whole job.

Each door here is shaped from thick solid stock rather than bent, so its curve is cut and not forced. The temptation at that point is to shape each door to its own drawing and hang them in a row. Do that and the front becomes a series of separate bows: every joint between doors shows a small change of direction, and the sweep the design is after never appears.

So our master Indian artisans strike the whole front as a single line first, full size on the floor, and take every door's curve off that one line. Where a door ends, the next begins on exactly the tangent the first left off at. The cornice above and the plinth below are shaped from the same drawing, which is why they run continuously across the piece instead of stepping.

The test is done with the doors closed and a hand, not an eye. Run a palm slowly across the whole front: if you can feel where one door ends and the next begins, the line is not right yet.

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

Configuration: six doors on a serpentine front with fully curved end returns; mirror across the centre pair.

Doors: shaped from solid stock, all curves struck from a single full-size front line.

Panels: tall shaped panels and lower shaped panels in a hand-finished blue, set into an ivory ground.

Carving: pierced and carved cornice across the full width with a centre crest, carved panel surrounds, shaped and carved plinth following the front line.

Interior: planned to your requirements - long and short hanging, shelving, drawers, shoe storage, lockable compartments.

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.

A wide serpentine wardrobe is packed to protect a curve, which means the packing has to be shaped rather than square. Foam is cut to the front line so the doors are supported along their whole sweep instead of bearing on the two points that project furthest.

All six doors are secured closed and braced so nothing can swing or work against its hinges, and the mirrored pair are additionally protected across the full face of the glass.

A soft, clean non-abrasive layer goes against the ivory ground first, since a pale finish shows a rub at once. The pierced cornice, the centre crest and the carved plinth - the three most exposed elements - each receive their own shaped protection.

The carcass enters a rigid outer crate with cushioning on every face, protection at all eight corners, and strapping that prevents movement.

This multi-layer protective packaging is why we guarantee dent-free arrival. Please inspect while the delivery team is present.

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 wardrobe.

A six door wardrobe is large, so the access conversation happens before production rather than after. We confirm your finished dimensions and your doorway widths, stair turns and lift size in writing, and where access requires it the wardrobe is built to knock down into sections that assemble in the room - a serpentine front is designed to break at the door joints, so the sweep is unaffected.

Once complete it is packed as described and dispatched with a carrier used to handling large carved furniture and mirror 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 with the delivery team present and contact us - we will resolve it.

The solid teak carcass and its joinery are covered for 20 years from the day the wardrobe reaches you - the frame, all six doors and their construction, the mirrored pair and their hinging, the cornice and crest joints, and the shaped plinth.

Lifetime cover against termite damage applies for the life of the furniture rather than a fixed number of years. On a piece this large that cover is worth having: a six door wardrobe is a considerable volume of timber standing against a wall, and because it is seasoned solid teak throughout - carcass, doors, backs 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. Door alignment across all six is covered; on a serpentine front the doors are hung as a set, and if any of them ever drops or binds we adjust or rehang it against the others rather than in isolation. Both warranties apply anywhere in India.
