Black and White Bone Inlay Chest of Drawers

Provenance

Not just storage. But ceremony. Handcrafted in Rajasthan, this black and white bone inlay chest of drawers draws from centuries old techniques once reserved for the rooms of royals. Bone inlay furniture, born from Mughal-era palaces and Rajasthani desert ateliers, involves carving and setting delicate bone fragments into wood, one by one, until a full pattern emerges like a carefully told story.

On this piece, it's the diamond motif that does the talking. Bold, clean and unapologetically graphic. The high contrast black and white palette lends it modern edge, but the soul is old.

It's not meant to just be beautiful. It's practical. The drawers slide smooth and deep, ready to swallow everything from winter linens to unsent letters. Whether anchoring a bedroom or punctuating a hallway, this piece refuses to blend in. It insists on being noticed, lived with, and with any luck, eventually passed down.
