Indian artifacts
Work is done mostly using old seasoned 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. In addition to delivery anywhere in India,
the company operates an efficient import-export
service.
In addition to furniture, Aurorachana also deals in a wide range of artifacts in brass and other metals, plus ceramic, pottery and earthenware.
High quality handmade furniture
Our modern furniture is handmade with passion from
old and new wood. They come from our own workshop
and fit in every house.
We work with antique woods, mainly teak, not only to protect the environment, but we love to preserve the old wood's charm and give it new life.
