Wardrobe with Drawers in Carved Teak with Mirrored Doors

A wide drawer is a harder thing to build than a wide door, and the reason is that nobody pulls a drawer from the middle.

People take hold of whichever handle is nearer and pull. On a narrow drawer that hardly matters. On a drawer running the full width of a wardrobe, pulling from one end turns the drawer slightly in its opening - the near side comes out, the far side lags, and the drawer skews across its runners and jams. Push it back and it jams again. Within a year the corners are worn and it never runs sweetly.

Side runners alone cannot prevent it, because they are too close together relative to the drawer's width to resist that twist.

So our master Indian artisans fit a centre runner beneath every wide drawer as well - a guide down the middle of the carcass, with a matching groove in the drawer bottom's rail. The drawer is then constrained at three points instead of two, and a pull from one end cannot rotate it. It comes out straight however you take hold of it.

It is invisible once the drawer is in. You only ever notice its absence.

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

Configuration: four mirrored centre doors above two full-width drawers, with panelled full-height hanging sections at both ends.

Drawers: solid teak, running on side runners with an additional centre runner to prevent skewing; carved lattice fronts with gilded lines.

Carving: arched carved cornice with crest, gilded panel beading, carved corner sprays, shaped carved apron and feet.

Finish: soft ivory ground with gilded detail, sealed for durability.

Interior: planned to your requirements - drawer count and depth, long and short hanging, shelving, 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.

Drawers are secured shut and additionally blocked so they cannot open, close or shift inside the crate - a loose drawer in a wardrobe is a battering ram, and it is the single most common cause of transit damage in furniture of this kind.

All doors are secured closed and braced, and the mirrored doors are protected across the full face of each plate.

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

Foam is shaped around the arched cornice, the crest, the carved sprays and the shaped apron rather than pressed onto them, and each carved foot receives its own 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 wardrobe.

Because every wardrobe is made to order, we confirm your finished dimensions and your access dimensions - doorway widths, stair turns, lift size - in writing before production begins. Where access requires it, the wardrobe is built to knock down into sections that assemble in the room, and the drawers travel out of the carcass.

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 while the delivery team is present and contact us - we will resolve it. On installation the drawers are refitted and their running checked.

The solid teak carcass and its joinery carry a 20-year warranty from the day the wardrobe reaches you - the frame, the door construction and hinging, the drawer construction and their 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, drawers, 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. Drawer running is explicitly covered: a drawer that sticks, drops or runs unevenly is a fault in our work, not wear, and we will put it right. Door alignment across the mirrored run is covered too. Both warranties apply anywhere in India.
