Our carefully curated collection of vintage Indian almirahs once held saris and baskets of grain. They tell the stories of the traditional havelis in which they were found, some with a lick of original paintwork intact. And, other antique pieces from Rajasthan and Gujarat show just a hint of British Colonial influence.
Almirahs are a type of Indian furniture that can be used for storage or decoration. They are often made from wood or metal, and can be ornately decorated. Almirahs can be used in any room of the house, but are most commonly found in bedrooms and living rooms.

What is an almirah?
An almirah is a type of wardrobe, display cabinet, hutch or cupboard that originated in India. It is typically made from wood or metal, and can be decorated with intricate carvings or patterns. Almirahs can be used for both storage and decoration, and are a popular choice of furniture in Indian homes.
Almirahs were often used to store salt and grain in the kitchen, or saris and kantha quilts in bedrooms. The reason we love them so much is because each almirah was just as unique as the home of which they were a part.
How to use an almirah
Almirahs can be used in any room of the house, but are most commonly found in bedrooms and living rooms. They make an excellent storage solution for small spaces, and can be used to store clothes, linens, books, or other household items. Almirahs can also be decorated with plants, photos, or other knick-knacks to add a personal touch to your home.
