Aurorachana has been fully involved in the antique restoration business
for over 25 years now. In the beginning selling
mostly in the wholesale market to dealers and
other wholesalers in Europe and around the world. For the past 10 years specializing in wooden handicrafts, contemporary designs, antique
furniture and colonial reproductions.
Furnishing of hotels, interior designers and
private customers.
The company, managed by German-born
Aurovillians Coco and Clemens
from their premises at Aurorachana which is
situated on the fringe of the Auroville international township, employs a staff of 19 people, of whom
11 are carpenters and 8 polishers.
They specialize in the restoration and supply of all types of colonial furniture, mostly from
the 19th and early 20th century, but can also make
high quality reproduction items on request.
Work is done mostly using antique teakwood
and other timbers salvaged from original furniture,
and old buildings, thereby retaining the authentic
‘feel’ and quality of each item.
Final oiling is done using imported decking oil from Burma wax to give a high quality finish and lasting effect.
One of the keys to Aurorachana’s success lies in its
large network of agents plus artifact & furniture
‘hunters’ spread all over south India.
Via this network Aurorachana is able to hunt down specific items on request, as well as ensure a constant supply of restorable – or immediately saleable – material.
In addition to delivery anywhere in India, the company operates an efficient import-export
service, the latter by ship or air, handling all the packing, paperwork and despatch formalities.
The cost is generally lower than that charged by agents offering similar services in Chennai or Pondicherry, thanks to lower overheads resulting from being located in a rural area.
In addition to furniture, Aurorachana also deals in
a wide range of artifacts in brass and other metals, plus ceramic, pottery and earthenware.
