From the
stock of well figured highest quality rosewood to the packing process, All
products are designed, engineered, manufactured & packed to strict quality
standards, and are inspected numerous times during the manufacturing
process, including a final inspection prior to packaging for shipment. To
guarantee the quality of your furniture before it’s delivered to your
destination, each piece is "checked" by our quality control department. This
means it is again inspected for defects or problems that may have occurred
during shipping. Any issues are then addressed, i.e. drawers/doors
adjustments, polish defects, fragile sign is missing or paper marks etc.. and finally, the piece is
ready to look like it would in your home.

departments are engaged doing different tasks with having 350 artisans &

rosewood timber on vacuumed and gaseous seasoning plants, so as solar.
Moisture content is up to 8-10%. Only the finest rosewood has chosen,
characterized by its deep grains and beautiful curls that form quality of
wood and the look of grains at its best. If the timber is Non-kiln dried, it

Machining
Machineries are used for cutting, plaining, pressing, boring, routing,
dowelling, lipping, profiling and sanding of wood. Most of the machineries
are imported from Germany.
Carpentry
Making & Assembling of furniture on imported machineries as well as by
handcrafted role is involved for handicrafts. Only the premium quality hardware
is used to construct rosewood furniture, even 10 years old piece of wood!
Quality construction often sets good furniture apart from great furniture
that will last for generations. It is not always easy to spot the
differences. i.e. How is the back finished, it is rosewood or just a
pressboard?
Is the finish applied evenly?
Are grain patterns well matched and rhythmic or somewhat random? (rosewood
is well known for natural grains at its best)
Do the doors line up evenly with the frame, Are they flush with the surface
both at the top and the bottom?
Are Animal Figures made with single log of solid rosewood or having joints ?
no matter how big they are.
How are the drawers constructed? Do they have dovetails at the corners? Are
they paneled on the bottom to allow expansion and contraction of the wood?
Do they slide without dragging?
Are the crosspieces between drawers dovetailed or rabbetted into the
vertical supports?
Do the chairs have pegging at the joints or do they rely on metal brackets
and glue to carry the weight?
Is the tabletop or head/foot board is made of fewer, wider planks or many
thin boards glued together?
STILL THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS
REMAIN TO BE ANSWERED,
WE WELCOME YOU TO ASK!
Since
wood is sensitive to heat and humidity, floating joints must allow for
expansion and contraction. For the same reason, all joints are not only
glued but are held by glue and nail.
Understanding the construction and finishing of a piece can be fascinating
but a somewhat technical.
Dovetail
Dovetail joints tightly interlock, creating a sturdy connection. Woods
with minimal expansion characteristics generally are used for dovetail
joints.
Tongue
and Groove
The joint is so deftly constructed that it is barely noticed by the
untrained eye. These are generally used as corner blocks for chair seat
frames.
Mortise and Tenon
Two pieces of wood are joined at right angles. One is a rail and another
is a post, or solid end panel. Rail ends are prepared on a tenoner, or cut
to fit a socket, usually square, that has been cut into the post or panel.
The joint is glued.
Dowel
This joint performs a function similar to the mortise and tenon. It uses a
wood or composition peg which fits into borings to join the two pieces of
wood.
Miter
Used frequently on bonded case and table tops, miter joints connect pieces
of wood with glue, reinforced by hidden wood or metal wedges, or by wood
dowels.
Butt
Joint
A butt joint is typified by two pieces of wood meeting at right angles where
it is most often glued. While appearing to be tight, the joint is not as
strong as many others and is not used extensively on fine furniture.
Rabbet
A rabbet is a slot or groove in a piece of wood into which slides another
piece of wood. An example is a good quality drawer. Often the interior sides
are rabbetted at the bottom allowing the bottom of drawer to slide into
place.
Carving
Wood carving is a form of working wood by means of a cutting tool held in
the hand (this may be a power tool), resulting in a wooden figure (this may
be abstract in nature) or in the
ornamentation of
a wooden object. The actual carving should be done with the grain, not
against the grain. Our carving workers are well adroit doing different ways
in detail. We have a supreme collection of carving designs that are among
royal times to modern generation. On the other hand, if you have any design
that you want us to carve on your desired item, We provide this facility on
additional charges.
Basic tool sets for carving are:
the carving knife: a specialized knife used to pare, cut, and smooth wood.
the gouge: a tool with a curved cutting edge used in a variety of forms and
sizes for carving hollows, rounds and sweeping curves.
the chisel, large and small, whose straight cutting edge is used for lines
and cleaning up flat surfaces.
the V-tool used for parting, and in certain classes of flat work for
emphasizing lines.
the veiner used for veining, and drilling holes. This tool is a specialized
gouge with a small radius.
Brass &
Wood inlay
Chiseling of wood & inlaying of brass & wood is a fine presentation of our
Furniture. We offer a unique range of brass & wood patterns to be inlaid,
You may have the option to choose either brass or wood inlay for your
desired item. On the other hand, if you have any design that you want us to
inlay on your desired item, We also provide this facility on additional
charges.
Polishing
Finishes are used to protect the wood by sealing pores and providing the
barrier to moisture and definitely to enhance the appearance of furniture
surface. A well applied finish can bring a piece to life, but it does'nt
mean at all that rosewood (timber) itself is not beautiful. it is remembered by its
appearance & durability!
A number of different types of finishes belong to "natural" classification
mentioned below.
1 - Matt finish. (wax)
2 - Glossy. (Shelac & Oil Shelac)
3 - Lacquered spray after matt finish is also available.
French
Polish : Shelac Grains + Burning Spirit + Powder Colour. (if required)
* Colours/Shades are available.
Polishing
procedure : (hand spread polish)
After the piece is hand sanded, an undertone stain is applied.
Next, a washcoat seals the stain. It is hand sanded, before a filler is
applied and packed into the wood pores for a smooth, even surface.
Excess filler is wiped off by hand and a sealer coat is applied.
The piece is again hand sanded to provide the proper surface for succeeding
operations.
Next it is hand padded to mellow the tone.
Apply required colour-mix french polish, gently by dipping the soft cotton
into material, squeeze the cotton and apply thin file of the polish on the
wooden surface, Repeat the process. After drying, it is hand waxed and hand
rubbed prior to a final inspection before shipping.
