Sheesham furniture is hand made out of Indian rosewood, which comes from forests carefully maintained as a renewable resource. It is becoming increasingly popular due to the polish and excellent smooth quality finish that can be achieved after it's manufacture.
The Sheesham wood is a golden honey in colour, with darker streaks in the grain that give the wood a strikingly attractive and individual appearance. As with most other woods, Sheesham timber often contains knots but this only adds to the individuality of each piece of furniture produced from this durable hardwood.
A natural clear 'hand wax' finish on the well defined grain of the wood ensures it remains stable and gives the wood a 'two tone' appearance which gives each piece of Sheesham furniture it's own unique colouring and individuality.
Sheesham is a versatile durable hardwood therefore more resilient to everyday use and lends itself to modern and period homes and often features hand forged wrought iron work handles and locks. Part of the appeal of Sheesham Indian furniture is that it is affordable, popular and therefore resides in many family homes around the world.
Sheesham furniture pieces include dining chairs, dining tables, bedside coffee tables, telephone tables, lamp tables, bookcases, cd cabinets, sideboards, cabinets, wine racks and mirrors.
The density, durability and natural colour of the grain make sheesham wood very popular with furniture makers. It is easy to work with and remains stable after manufacture. Sheesham wood is cut from forests when the trees are about 100 years old and the furniture made from Sheesham will last a lifetime.
