Antique Teak Wood Glass Almirah 10

Two glass. Two solid. A cornice. The grammar of an Indian home, still standing.

This antique Indian almirah follows a form perfected over generations: two glass-paned upper doors that open to interior shelving, two solid lower panel doors that conceal storage below. A stepped cornice at the crown. Brass hardware at each door. The teak has aged to a warm, sandy honey, the colour of old wood left to find itself.

Solid construction throughout. Honest marks of age. Original hardware. No restoration.

For a dining room, a living room, or a library that understands what it means to collect slowly and well.

Care: Dry or barely damp cloth only. The sandy warm patina is the piece's character, protect it.
