Exciting new arrivals from India this May 2019
We've just unpacked some fantastic new pieces of Indian antique furniture from Rajasthan. Now available to view in our showroom.
On our most recent buying trip, we looked for something a little different, meaning we had a real mix of beautiful antiques & also hand painted furniture. Here's a list of recent arrivals with photographs.
Featured Products
19th century Indian Door from Gujarat - A5889
Iron bound doors from Gujarat are often beautifully painted with natural mineral colours. The red comes from cinnabar and there is also light sea green pastel colouring made from a mix of ultramarine & ochre. Made from solid teak wood with intricate carving on the door frame and carved elephant corbels on the top corners of the door frame (see far left image.)
This door is unusual in that it is tall enough to be used in a western interior. It can be built into a home to become the envy of any guest and even has the original wrought iron lock hasp and staple. It also has original brass ring pull handles The door frame also comes apart for delivery.

Teak & Mango Wood Mirrors
Our most recent delivery from our last Indian buying trip contained a fantastic range of Indian mirrors made from teak wood & mango wood. Most of our mango wood mirrors are painted. Our favorite being the portrait Gothic style featured below making for the perfect leaner mirror or wall mounted hall mirror.
Mango wood is also a sustainable alternative to woods like walnut & oak used regularly in western furniture production meaning you can furnish your home with a clean conscience and a beautiful mirror at the same time!

19th century Glazed Hand painted Doors from Bikaner, India - A5831
Bikaner, in the desert state of Rajasthan has always been renowned for it's vivid painting with deep greens & reds and floral designs using mineral pigments. These glazed doors date from mid 1800's and are an exquisite representation of Bikaner design.
They would have been fitted inside a wealthy merchant's haveli, hence their excellent condition. They'd look great in any modern interior either wall mounted or to be used in your home as a walk through door.
