Cultural & Historical Context

In Indian homes, an almirah is more than just a cabinet—it holds family heirlooms, saris, linens, or seasonal wear. This piece, crafted from teak salvaged from older structures, continues that story of utility and reverence. The floral carvings draw from traditional Rajasthani and South Indian influences, offering a decorative nod to India’s nature-inspired carving traditions.

Styling Tip

Let this piece serve as a functional sculpture. Position it in a bedroom with natural jute or cotton textiles, or in a hallway paired with neutral-toned walls to highlight its detail. Add baskets or ceramic vases nearby for a curated, earthy aesthetic.
