Mother of Pearl Furniture — Handcrafted Shell Inlay for Indian Homes

Bring a quiet, pearlescent elegance into your home with Elephanta’s handcrafted mother of pearl furniture. Each piece blends traditional shell-inlay techniques with modern joinery and finishes suited to Indian living — from compact city apartments to roomy bungalows. Our collection adds a luminous, tactile layer to interiors without shouting for attention: perfect for an understated living room focal point, a refined bedroom ensemble, or a statement hallway console.

Why Indian buyers choose Elephanta

Mother of pearl brings a soft sheen that complements warm Indian colour palettes and carved-wood furniture. The result is luxurious but versatile: pieces are designed for everyday life with durable finishes, sensible storage and optional practical features like integrated power outlets. Many buyers like that inlay work is handmade — each small shell tile is unique, so no two items are identical, making them great heirloom pieces.

Materials, customization & sizing for India

We work with stable hardwood frames, sealing processes suited to variable Indian humidity, and finishing that resists regular household use. Need a narrower console for a Mumbai apartment or a wider dining table for a Delhi home? Custom dimensions and finishes are available; we outline lead times and proofs during consultation.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive pads.
• Clean spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth and mild pH-neutral soap; always dry right away.
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight — place pieces away from windows or use curtains/blinds to prevent fading.
• Keep indoor humidity moderate where possible to reduce warping risk; use coasters and mats to protect surfaces.

Pricing & value

Mother of pearl furniture sits in the luxury-craft segment, but styles and sizes vary — from statement consoles to compact bedside tables — so there are options across budgets. Price depends on design complexity, inlay coverage and size. We’ll help you balance visual impact with cost during quoting.

Real scenarios — how Indian homeowners use it

• A Jaipur couple placed a pearlescent console in their foyer to reflect morning light and hide shoe clutter.
• A Bengaluru family chose an inlaid headboard in neutral tones to make their bedroom feel lighter without changing existing timber furniture.
• A Mumbai apartment owner ordered a slim console (custom width) to fit a narrow entryway while adding storage for keys and chargers.
