Reclaimed Teak Cabinet With Old Paint

This Indian reclaimed teak cabinet combines traditional Indian craftsmanship with rustic character and practical storage. Made from reclaimed timber salvaged from old buildings in Rajasthan and Gujarat, the cabinet is not an antique, but its beautifully weathered wood and layers of old paint give it an authentic, timeworn appearance.

The cabinet features two panelled doors with shaped mouldings and decorative circular details, complemented by traditional-style iron handles and fittings. Remnants of faded turquoise, cream and earthy brown paint create a wonderfully distressed finish, revealing the natural grain and rich texture of the teak beneath. The simple architectural design is enhanced by a gently projecting cornice and sturdy plinth base.

Behind the double doors, two internal shelves create three spacious storage compartments, making this a particularly versatile piece of furniture. Ideal for storing books, crockery, linens or everyday household essentials, it would work equally well in a kitchen, hallway, bedroom or living room.

Teak is renowned for its exceptional strength and durability, making this cabinet both attractive and practical. By giving salvaged timber a new purpose, the cabinet also offers a sustainable and environmentally conscious alternative to furniture made from newly harvested wood.
