A Table With a Past, Mogul Interior Carved Door Tables

A Table With a Past, Mogul Interior Carved Door Tables

Antique Indian doors, reclaimed haveli wood, and hand-carved panels — repurposed as chai tables, coffee tables, and grand dining tables

Every table in the Mogul Interior collection began as something else. A carved door from a Rajasthani haveli. A jharokha window salvaged from a crumbling merchant's house. A panel of sheesham or teak that once formed the threshold between inside and outside, public and private. Repurposed and set on legs — iron, pillar-turned wood, or hand-hammered brass-studded frames — these pieces arrive in your home already carrying decades of life in their grain.

The chai table is the collection's most intimate form. Low to the ground and wide enough to anchor a circle of cushions, these antique door tops invite a different kind of gathering — slower, closer to the floor, warmer. Finished in whitewash, natural teak, or rich distressed brown, many feature iron nail studs, carved lotus borders, or the geometric interlace that runs through Indian decorative craft like a visual grammar. Surround one with scatter pillows and a brass tray and the entire room reorganizes itself around it. Shop At Ebay Mogulgallery
