The Deconstructed Salvage Latticework Sideboard

An authoritative triumph of monumental scale and raw, elemental luxury, this sideboard is hand-carved from select solid mango wood. Showcasing an intensely weathered, multi-toned geometric screen front across four independent storage chambers, it embodies an uncompromising, architectural approach to historical design preservation.

FEATURES

• Monolithic solid mango wood construction providing an incredible, enduring architectural weight.
• Four expansive screen-lattice doors demonstrate full open access and robust internal shelving.
• Hand-forged industrial-grade black iron drop-loop handles centered firmly on each door frame.
• Heavily eroded mineral-pigment washes forming a weathered grid of slate, crimson, and teal tones across the screens.
• Exposed natural wood casing showcasing dramatic grain furrows and knots

The Deconstructed Salvage Latticework Sideboard commands a space with its monumental proportions and raw architectural purity, defining the entire character of a luxury interior. Drawing heavy inspiration from the vast architectural salvage warehouses and grand ancestral palaces of northwestern India, its massive structure celebrates an era of structural strength and artisanal exploration. The structural rhythm of the four openwork lattice doors directly references traditional colonial merchant screens, where hand-planed timbers were engineered to filter light while keeping large structural spaces organized.

Each sideboard is chiseled into being through a physically demanding handcraftsmanship process, where thick cuts of premium seasoned mango wood are hand-planed and joined using heavy-duty mortise-and-tenon techniques. The wood then undergoes an intense aging and wire-brushing treatment to draw out the deep grain furrows before receiving an artisan color wash that is meticulously stripped back to mimic decades of natural weathering. The full-frontal presentation highlights this finish, which emphasizes the raw, untouched beauty of the timber, elevating structural variations, natural splits, and old tool marks into beautiful badges of authenticity.

Forged from premium solid mango wood, this sideboard delivers massive strength and a dense structural profile built to outlast generations. The incorporation of four independent open-work doors offers heavy-duty versatility that effortlessly answers the storage requirements of grand, open-plan modern living, providing a highly ventilated, responsive organization center for electronics or collectibles. This investment piece represents a stunning balance of historical weight and contemporary luxury, intended for the most discerning architectural collectors.
