White Wardrobe in Carved Teak with Arched Mirror and Drawers

A mirror that spans two doors is two mirrors, and the joint between them is where the work shows.

The obvious approach is to order two plates to the two shapes. It is also the approach that produces a visible mismatch, because no two sheets of mirror glass are quite identical - silvering varies a little in tone, and float glass carries a faint green cast that differs from batch to batch. Set two such plates side by side at arm's length in a bedroom and the eye finds it immediately, even though nobody could tell you what is wrong.

So our master Indian artisans cut both halves from one sheet, splitting it exactly on what will be the centre line of the arch. Whatever tint and whatever silvering that sheet has, both doors now have the same. The two halves are then edge-polished so that when the doors close, the joint reads as a single fine line rather than as a gap between two pieces.

The arched frame is carved afterwards, in place, with the doors hung and closed - so the curve is true across the joint rather than nearly true.

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

Configuration: centre doors carrying a shared arched mirror with a drawer beneath, flanking doors on a plain ground, bowed end panels.

Mirror: two halves cut from a single sheet, split on the centre line, edge-polished at the meeting joint.

Carving: gilded cornice band across the full width, carved centre crest, gilded mirror frame, slim gilded door sprays, pierced carved plinth.

Finish: hand-applied ivory ground with gilded detail, sealed for durability.

Interior: planned to your requirements - hanging rails, 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.

Two mirrored doors on a pale carcass make this a piece where both the glass and the finish need protecting, and neither can be protected at the other's expense.

Both doors are secured closed and braced so they cannot swing or work against their hinges, and the full face of each mirror is protected so no pressure reaches the glass. Drawers are secured shut.

A soft, clean non-abrasive layer goes against the ivory finish first - a pale surface shows a scuff at once - then foam is shaped around the carved crest, the gilded cornice band and the pierced plinth rather than pressed onto them. The bowed ends are supported along their curve.

The carcass enters 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 dent-free arrival is guaranteed. Please open and 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 piece.

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 needs it, the wardrobe is built to knock down into sections that assemble in the room, with the mirrored doors travelling separately.

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.

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

Lifetime cover against termite damage applies for the life of the furniture rather than a fixed term. A wardrobe stands against a wall and is opened rather than examined, which is why termite damage in one can go unnoticed for a long time; because this piece is seasoned solid teak throughout - including the back panels and internal fittings - there is no board core anywhere for them to reach.

If a warranty issue arises, send photographs and we will assess and repair or replace. Door alignment is covered, and the mirrored doors in particular: they carry extra weight, and if either ever drops or binds we adjust or rehang it. Both warranties apply anywhere in India and travel with the furniture.
