Our Craft
Nothing here is assembled from a carton. Each Royal Collection Studio piece is built from seasoned solid wood by karigars who sign their work — measured, carved, upholstered and polished by hand.
Slow furniture,
made properly
A single sofa passes through eleven pairs of hands. We keep batches small on purpose — it is the only way to hold a standard where joints stay tight, carving stays crisp and a finish still looks alive after a decade.
Because we build to order, you choose the wood tone, the fabric and the exact dimensions before we begin. No warehouse stock, no compromise on the room you already have.
Crafted, Not Assembled
Seasoned timber
Teak and sheesham kiln-dried for months so panels never warp in Indian humidity.
Traditional joinery
Mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joints — glued and pinned, never stapled.
Hand-rubbed finish
Seven coats of low-VOC polish, hand-sanded between each for a soft, deep sheen.
Made to measure
Every dimension, wood tone and fabric adjusted to the room it will live in.
White-glove delivery
Blanket-wrapped, assembled and placed at home across India.
10-year assurance
Structural warranty on frames plus lifetime repair and re-upholstery support.
From Log to Living Room

Frames are cut to your measurements and dry-fitted before a single joint is closed.
- 03
Carving
Motifs are chiselled freehand by karigars trained over three generations.

Upholstery
High-resilience foam, webbed suspension and hand-loomed fabric, tailored and tacked.
