Indian Almirah Cabinet With Sunburst Panels – 19th Century

This striking 19th century Indian teak almirah cabinet is distinguished by its deeply carved sunburst panels, a bold and architectural motif that gives the piece both presence and rhythm. Crafted from solid teak, the cabinet displays a rich, dark patina developed through age and use, highlighting the crisp carving and natural grain of the wood. Freestanding Indian almirahs of this scale are relatively uncommon, as many were originally recessed into the walls of domestic interiors, making this example particularly desirable.

The design shows clear influence from Indo-Portuguese furniture traditions, evident in the symmetry of the façade, the robust proportions, and the ornamental panel work. Opening the doors reveals a beautifully aged teak interior fitted with two fixed shelves, offering generous storage, while two drawers at the base provide additional practical space. Both decorative and functional, this almirah works equally well as a statement storage cabinet in a living space, bedroom, or hallway.
