Indian Chairs & Daybeds

Filter

    Indian Chairs & Benches embody a fusion of heritage and artistry — from intricately carved daybeds and colonial rosewood chairs to rustic reclaimed benches and cast-iron garden seats. Each piece reflects India’s long tradition of craftsmanship, comfort, and decorative form.

    Colonial and Anglo-Indian Heritage

    Many of our antique chairs and benches trace their lineage to the Anglo-Indian period of the 19th century, when British and Indian craftsmen combined classical European design with local materials and ornament. Rosewood, teak, and mango wood were shaped into refined yet characterful pieces — chairs with cane seats, scrolling arms, and carved baluster legs that bring timeless grace to modern interiors.

    Crafted Wood and Carved Daybeds

    From Rajasthan and Gujarat come richly carved wooden daybeds and benches featuring floral panels and hand-limed finishes. Each is made by skilled artisans using traditional tools, echoing designs once found in merchant homes and courtyards. Their decorative forms and tactile patina bring both sculptural presence and quiet elegance to living spaces.

    Ironwork and Outdoor Craft

    India’s 19th-century cast-iron benches and verdigris outdoor seats show the influence of British foundry design, adapted for local parks, gardens, and colonial estates. Retaining their graceful curves and original patination, these pieces combine durability with romantic charm — equally at home indoors or out.

    Modern Rustic Reinterpretations

    Our modern reclaimed teak and mango benches reinterpret these traditions with simplified lines and weathered finishes. Each is crafted for enduring use while preserving the rustic beauty and tactile warmth that define India’s furniture heritage.
