Brazilian Furniture

Handmade in Brazil, our furniture is crafted from rare antique Brazilian hardwoods reclaimed from abandoned 18th and 19th estates and haciendas. Deep in the heart of Brazil, talented craftsmen in our workshops transform former walls, ceilings, and flooring into our functional, one-of-a-kind
works of art.

Attention to detail and 18th century techniques are present in every step of the process, from the brushstrokes painted on our polychromed pieces to the hand forged hardware shaped by master metal smiths.

Capturing the romance and rhythms of Brazil, our collections add exotic sophistication to any ambiance. Be prepared to fall in love.

Dutch Colonial Teak

Plantation Doors

Tibetan Furniture

Cabinets are perhaps the most popular of Tibetan furniure for the ease with which they can be adapted into a modern home. With the cabinets, particularly, the artists of the day could give free reign to their aesthetic inspiration, without the iconographic constraints of religious art. Therefore, the cabinets offer a wide variety of decorations, from floral patterns, geometric designs and Buddhist auspicious symbols, to pictorial representations of popular stories.

Tibetan monastic boxes or chests were originally used in the store rooms of monasteries. They were also commissioned by the monastic authorities themselves, and would have been painted by the thankha painters of that monastery. Often large amounts of gold and the best mineral colours were used in the execution, hence some of the best examples of Tibetan furniture decoration are found on
these chests.
