Sheesham Crockery Cabinet with Glass Hutch

The Jharokhas Upstairs

Every haveli shows it's best face from the upper windows and so does this one. Four glazed doors run across the top, wood framing glass, glass shelves inside, so light walks clean through and your good crockery sits up there like family in the jharokha, watching the dining room, gathering admirers instead of dust.

The Mirror in the Middle

Between the storeys, a bevelled mirror flanked by carved scrolls. Set the serving dishes on it's ledge and it doubles the daawat while you carry the plates. It has kept a quiet copy of every gathering it has ever faced. It will keep yours.

The Storerooms Below

Downstairs does the honest work. Four drawers on brass bail pulls for the cutlery and the small things, four panelled doors beneath for the linen and the big dishes your rasoda gave up on years ago.

Solid sheesham under a warm walnut polish, standing on turned bun feet high enough for the broom to pass. Give it the longest wall in the dining room, wipe the glass weekly with a dry cloth and padharo, the plates were waiting to move in.
