Antique Indian doors, reclaimed haveli wood, and hand-carved panels — repurposed as chai tables, coffee tables, and grand dining tables
Every table in the Mogul Interior collection began as something else. A carved door from a Rajasthani haveli. A jharokha window salvaged from a crumbling merchant's house. A panel of sheesham or teak that once formed the threshold between inside and outside, public and private. Repurposed and set on legs — iron, pillar-turned wood, or hand-hammered brass-studded frames — these pieces arrive in your home already carrying decades of life in their grain.
The chai table is the collection's most intimate form. Low to the ground and wide enough to anchor a circle of cushions, these antique door tops invite a different kind of gathering — slower, closer to the floor, warmer. Finished in whitewash, natural teak, or rich distressed brown, many feature iron nail studs, carved lotus borders, or the geometric interlace that runs through Indian decorative craft like a visual grammar. Surround one with scatter pillows and a brass tray and the entire room reorganizes itself around it.
Rustic old doors salvaged from Indian havelis are repurposed into coffee tables, bringing with them an eclectic bohemian energy that no new-build piece can replicate.
The coffee and accent tables extend the same idea into standard living-room height — ideal for those who prefer chairs to floor cushions but refuse to sacrifice character. Antique door tops with carved relief, whitewashed patinas, and vintage brass hardware sit on trestle or pillar-style legs; some feature a stepped edge cut to accept an optional glass top. No two pieces are identical. The distress, the paint shadows, the nail holes — these are not flaws. They are the table's autobiography.
For dining, Mogul Interior offers custom grand tables built from reclaimed door panels joined with hand-wrought iron straps, creating surfaces that can seat a family and command a room. Each one is available to view via FaceTime before purchase. Free shipping across the continental US, with white-glove delivery for larger pieces
