Winter Arrivals: New Hand-Carved Mango Wood Furniture

There's a point every year when the evenings close in and the house starts to matter a little more. The lamps go on earlier, and the rooms we hurry through in summer become the places we stay in.

Our newest mango wood pieces are arriving at exactly that moment. They're on their way to us from India now, due at the end of November, and they're some of the most detailed pieces we've brought in.

The Collection

Carved by Hand, One Piece at a Time

Every piece in this collection is hand-carved by our artisans in India, and you can see it in the detail.

On the medallion wardrobe and its matching cabinet, two deep floral rounds open out across the doors, edged with beaded borders and framed by curling leaves. In a warm walnut tone the carving catches the light and throws soft shadow into every petal. In the whitewashed finish the same pattern reads quieter and lighter, more suited to a pale bedroom.

The arched wardrobe takes a different direction. Long carved fronds rise up into its curved top, with small flowers set among the leaves below. It has the presence of an old doorway rather than a piece of storage.

The arched bookcase is built around a run of carved niches down each side, with a lattice frieze and a single carved flower across the top. The open shelves in the middle leave room for books and the things you collect.

The chest of drawers is perhaps the clearest example of handwork in the collection: eight drawers, and no two carved the same. Scrolls, flowers and repeating leaves sit side by side, each drawer its own small panel.

Alongside these sit a four-door sideboard with pierced, openwork panels, a sideboard with diamond-carved drawers above plain panelled doors, a console with carved white leaf drawers on a natural frame, and a carved blanket box finished in white beneath a natural wood top.

Because each piece is carved by hand, the grain, tone and detail vary from one to the next. No two will be quite alike.

Our Material

Given a Second Life

Mango wood isn't grown for timber. It comes from fruit orchards, from trees that have spent years bearing fruit. Once their fruiting years decline, the wood is repurposed rather than wasted, and that timber is what our artisans carve.

It's a material with a story before the carving even begins, and it's why we work with it. You can read more about where our wood comes from in our

Sustainability Story

Made for the Colder Months

Warm wood comes into its own in winter. A few ways we'd use these pieces as the season turns:

In the bedroom. The medallion wardrobe brings real warmth to a room that's mostly linen and pale walls. Leave the space around it clear so the carving does the work, and add a lamp nearby for evenings.

In a reading corner. Put the arched bookcase beside a chair and a lamp, and fill the niches with stoneware, a few favourite books and the odd candle. It turns a spare wall into somewhere to sit on a long evening.

In the hallway. A medallion cabinet or the carved console makes a first impression as you come in from the cold. A bowl for keys, a vase of dried winter stems, and it's done.

At the foot of the bed. The carved blanket box holds spare throws and extra blankets for the colder nights, and doubles as somewhere to sit.
