Metal Embossed Furniture

The Bone Inlay Furnitures Indian Metal Furniture Collection brings together the finest handcrafted white metal and embossed brass furniture rooted in one of the world's most opulent design traditions — the royal courts and grand palaces of the Mughal Dynasty. Embossed white metal furniture has its roots in India, where skilled artisans have been perfecting this intricate art form for generations — inspired by the Mughal era's opulence, each piece showcases the harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements. 


A Royal Tradition — Born in the Mughal Courts
The Mughal Dynasty, spanning from the early 16th to mid-19th century, is a monumental period in Indian history that profoundly influenced the nation's art, design, and culture. Under their reign, a myriad of artistic techniques thrived — one of which is the intricate process of white metal embossing. This exquisite technique is now deeply ingrained in Indian furniture craftsmanship, with skilled artisans passing down their knowledge through generations. 
The stunning originals made with these embossing techniques can be seen in the magnificent palaces of Rajasthan today. Many of our highly skilled artisan metalworkers are so famous for their abilities that they are frequently commissioned by royalty for their beautiful designs. When you bring a piece from this collection into your home, you are not buying a reproduction of history — you are continuing it.

How It Is Made
The embossed metal is nickel, chosen for its beautiful sheen and its overall resilience to weathering — it can be polished to a high sheen or softened to a dull golden hue. The white metal is worked with hand tools and indented in intricate, ornate patterns by artisans who then lay this over sheesham wood or mango wood, fashioning a piece built to last through the ages. A grain-like appearance is often visible as a background note to the mirror effect.  Skilled artisans meticulously etch elaborate designs into pliable white metal sheets, which are then carefully mounted onto wooden frames — a laborious technique that results in stunning furniture pieces that exude a majestic aura. Every chisel mark, every pressed motif, every polished panel is done entirely by hand. No two pieces are ever identical. What you receive is genuinely one of a kind.

What the Collection Includes
Our Indian Metal Furniture collection spans every room of your home:
Living Room — Embossed white metal coffee tables, centre tables, console tables, and media units that make an immediate statement the moment guests walk in.
Bedroom — White metal dressers, bedside cabinets, wardrobes, and chest of drawers that transform the bedroom into a sanctuary of considered luxury.
Dining & Entertaining — Buffet tables, sideboards, bar cabinets, and credenzas clad in polished or embossed metal finish — furniture that makes entertaining feel like a occasion.
Accent & Storage — Cabinets, mirrors, and decorative chests that bring the shimmer of Indian palace craft into corners and hallways of any modern home.

Polished or Embossed — Your Choice
Every piece in this collection is available in two distinct finishes:
Polished Finish — Smooth, mirror-bright nickel alloy cladding that reflects light beautifully and brings a sleek, contemporary edge to a deeply traditional form.
Embossed Finish — Traditional hand-pressed geometric and floral motifs — chevrons, florals, lattice patterns, and Mughal arabesques — pressed by hand into the metal surface for rich, tactile depth and shadow.
Both finishes are available across the full range of furniture forms, and customisation options are aplenty — whether you prefer subtle patterns or striking motifs, the versatile nature of the craft allows you to tailor each creation to your specific tastes, ensuring your living space reflects your unique personality.

Care Guide
To keep your Indian metal furniture gleaming for years:
Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth
Polish occasionally with a non-abrasive metal polish to restore the original sheen
Avoid harsh chemicals — never use acidic or abrasive cleaners on the metal surface
Keep away from prolonged direct moisture — wipe any spills promptly with a dry cloth
With proper care, the metal finish will deepen and develop character over the years, much as silver does with age
