Discover the Timeless Appeal of Indian Furniture
At Kayu Home, our collection of Indian furniture reflects our love of traditional antiques and as such, we offer an ever-changing range of one-off items and small batch finds, each selected for its character and rich patina. Whether it’s a carved sideboard, a painted cupboard or a solid wood chest, every piece is unique. These are furniture items made with care, shaped by hand and rich with history.
India has a long tradition of furniture making, using local materials and passed-down skills. From the hardwood forests of Rajasthan to the coastal towns of Gujarat, although regional styles vary, the quality of craftsmanship remains a constant. Our collections feature a mix of antique Indian furniture and reclaimed Indian furniture; alongside newer pieces made using traditional techniques.
Unique Pieces Made from Reclaimed Materials
Reclaimed Indian furniture brings together two things we value highly: beautiful materials and a more thoughtful way of living. The timber used in these pieces often comes from old buildings, carts or architectural elements such as teak beams, mango wood joists, and carved shutters. This wood is then cleaned, cut, and repurposed, keeping its natural marks and texture intact. The result is Indian reclaimed wood furniture that feels solid and lived-in, rather than polished or overly restored.
Many of our Indian wood furniture pieces are left in their natural state, showing off the grain and patina of the timber. Others are hand painted, sometimes in soft blues, greens or creams, with layers worn back to reveal the wood beneath. This gives each piece a weathered, relaxed look that works well in both traditional and more modern spaces. Hand-painted Indian furniture has a unique appearance and is often decorative without being too ornate, and always with a sense of age.
We often carry a small selection of painted Indian furniture, such as cabinets, small tables, and mirrors. These items are usually sourced in limited numbers and may vary from one delivery to the next. The finish on each piece is the result of slow, manual work – sanding, brushing, and waxing to create depth and tone. Many pieces also feature carving or inlay, reflecting traditional Indian design elements passed down over generations.
Antique Indian Furniture
Antique Indian furniture is another key part of our range. These are genuine older items, often over fifty years old, that have been carefully restored to keep their character while making them suitable for everyday use. You’ll find sideboards, cupboards and benches with original fittings and simple repairs made by skilled restorers. These pieces aren’t perfect but that’s what makes them special, and any scratches, slight cracks, or faded paintwork are part of their story.
The solid wood used in Indian reclaimed furniture is usually teak or mango – both durable hardwoods that respond well to shaping and finishing. Teak in particular, is prized for its strength and resistance to wear, which is why it’s often found in older furniture. Mango wood is more variable in tone but offers a beautiful surface for both natural and painted finishes.
Whether you’re looking for a single piece of furniture to make a statement or a smaller item to add texture and depth, reclaimed Indian furniture has much to offer. The range of sizes and shapes means you can often find something to fit a particular space, whether it’s a hallway, a corner of the living room or next to a bed. Every piece we stock is a one-off – once it’s gone, it’s unlikely we’ll find another quite the same.
Indian reclaimed furniture fits well into a range of interior design styles. In more neutral, contemporary settings, a single item like a carved cabinet or aged wooden chest can act as a point of contrast. In more eclectic spaces, these pieces complement other textures and materials, from woven rugs and stone floors to soft upholstery and hand-thrown pottery.
