The Charm of Our Vintage Mirrors
In a world of mass-produced replicas and fleeting trends, there's something enchanting about pieces that carry history and authenticity.
Our mirrors are constructed from old door frames and architectural elements.
We travel across India, especially Rajasthan, to handpick each frame. We work with woodworkers & artisans to determine how to breathe new life into a frame make the best statement piece for your home.
We are passionate about offering mirrors that not only look beautiful but also have a rich history behind them. Each mirror tells a unique story, shaped by skilled artisans and cultural heritage.

The Difference Between Our Mirrors and Other Retailers
When it comes to choosing a mirror, not all are created equal. We pride ourselves on offering exceptional quality and craftsmanship that sets our mirrors apart from those of other retailers. Here’s a closer look at the key differences:
Materials
Our Mirrors
- Using old frames that have aged through time and us.
- Crafted exclusively from solid teak wood, from old haveli door frames.
- Teak wood is highly durable and resistant to pests and rot, ensuring long-lasting beauty and functionality.
- Feature original, hand-carved designs that highlight the artistry and cultural heritage of India.
- Use sustainable and ethically sourced materials that prioritise environmental conservation and support local artisans.
Others
- Other retailers often opt for cheaper woods like mango and jackfruit, which are fast-growing but less durable
- Mango wood, while affordable, is softer and prone to scratches and dents. Jackfruit wood is also commonly used due to its availability and lower price.
- The reason you cannot find old furniture made from these woods is because woods like mango and jackfruit lack durability for long-lasting furniture and decor.
- Both Woods are preferred because of their soft texture making it easy to carve designs
- Synthetic materials are frequently employed, lacking the warmth and authenticity of real wood.
- Machine-made designs lack the unique charm and detail of handcrafted work.
