What is a shodana cabinet?

Makers built these pieces to showcase decorative objects and ceramics in traditional interiors. They often incorporate carved wood elements and detailed inlay work across the doors and panels, reflecting the craftsmanship of the Meiji period.

Where does Hoshiarpur furniture come from?

These pieces are easily recognised by their dense geometric patterns formed from small pieces of bone or brass set into dark wood.

How do I care for inlaid wood?

Inlaid wood requires stable environmental conditions to prevent the shrinkage and expansion that can loosen delicate bone, metal, or shell elements. Keep pieces away from direct heat sources and sudden temperature fluctuations. Dust surfaces gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that might damage the traditional lacquer or bare wood finishes.

What is Anglo-Indian furniture?

Anglo-Indian furniture refers to pieces produced in India during the British colonial period, combining local craftsmanship with European forms. Workshops created tables, chairs, and cabinets using native hardwoods. These items frequently feature intricate brass wire inlay or deep carving influenced by traditional regional aesthetics combined with Western utility.
