Indian Chest of Drawers

A collection of Indian chests of drawers that unites colonial heritage and modern rustic design — from antique campaign chests to contemporary reclaimed teak tallboys.

Reclaimed Teak Chests

Handcrafted in Rajasthan and Gujarat, our reclaimed teak chests of drawers are made using timber salvaged from old Indian homes and workshops. Each piece highlights the wabi-sabi beauty of fragmented historic carvings, natural grain and gentle imperfection, finished by hand to preserve the wood’s original texture. Their quiet, modern rustic character makes them ideal for bedrooms, hallways and living spaces where warmth and authenticity matter.

Antique Anglo-Indian Campaign Chests

The collection also features Anglo-Indian campaign chests from the 19th and early 20th centuries — robust, elegant pieces originally designed for officers travelling across the British Raj. Made in teak or camphor wood, they were built to dismantle for transport, fitted with brass corners and recessed handles for protection. Today, these antique chests are prized for their colonial craftsmanship and timeless proportion, offering both utility and historical resonance.

Craftsmanship & Character

Whether newly made or antique, each Indian chest reflects fine joinery and solid wood construction — tactile, weighty, and built to endure. Reclaimed teak drawers carry a soft matte finish and visible joinery, while campaign chests show polished brass and aged patina. Together they capture the enduring balance between Indian materiality and British design precision.

Styling & Atmosphere

Pair a reclaimed teak chest with stone, linen and rattan for an earthy modern look, or an antique campaign chest with darker tones and brass accents for heritage contrast. Each piece brings texture, utility and quiet presence to the home — a meeting of craftsmanship and colonial-era design.
