Antique Reclaimed Teak & Mango Wood Drinks Bar Cabinet
With Naqashi Carvings | Distressed Blue Finish | Handmade in Rajasthan, India
Bring timeless artistry and architectural drama into your interiors with this magnificent drinks bar cabinet, handcrafted in Rajasthan from reclaimed teakwood and mango wood. Once part of historic architectural salvage, this piece has been lovingly reimagined into a functional bar, carrying forward centuries of Indian craftsmanship while offering modern-day usability.
✦ Sculptural Elegance and Decorative Craft
This bar cabinet is more than storage; it is an architectural statement. The distressed blue patina, achieved through natural weathering and careful artisanal finishing, reveals layers of colour and grain that shimmer between soft turquoise and muted earth tones. Every surface carries the tactile richness of age, history, and craft.
The highlight lies in its hand-carved Naqashi panels across the lower body, featuring a repeating rosette lattice motif that creates depth and rhythm. The upper canopy is adorned with cutwork floral tracery, scalloped edging, and small bracketed supports, evoking the grandeur of haveli entrances and palace alcoves. Together, these elements create a piece that blurs the line between furniture and architectural art.

✦ Cultural and Historical Context
Naqashi carving is a decorative art form historically associated with Mughal courts and temple façades. Characterised by floral scrolls, jaali-inspired geometry, and symbolic motifs, it represented prosperity, spirituality, and continuity. This cabinet embodies that legacy, serving as a bridge between the ceremonial grandeur of India’s past and the sustainable design ethos of today. By reimagining salvaged wood into a functional drinks bar, it honours both tradition and innovation.
✦ Styling Inspiration
This bar cabinet is equally suited to heritage interiors, eclectic homes, and boutique hospitality settings. Use it as a statement bar in a dining room or lounge, pairing it with brass lighting, vintage glassware, and woven rugs to highlight its colour and carvings. In hotels or creative spaces, it becomes a conversation-starting reception piece— radiating both story and style.
