FAQs

Anglo-Indian furniture originated during the British colonial era in India, combining traditional European furniture forms with detailed Indian relief carving techniques and native hardwoods.

Dense hardwoods such as rosewood, teak, and ebony were commonly used, often featuring inlaid contrasting woods like boxwood to form the chessboard squares.

Authentic pieces feature dense dark rosewood, detailed floral or foliate hand carving along the frieze and legs, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and characteristic Indian craft construction.

Position the table in a library, study, or living room alcove accompanied by two side chairs to create a dedicated area for chess or draughts.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a dry soft cloth, apply natural beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, and avoid placement near direct sunlight or heat sources.
