Indian Furniture – The King of Furnishings
From the majesty of the Mah Haraja Indian bed to the rustic charm of the Java Natural Bed made from eco-friendly solid mango wood, there’s a piece of Indian furniture perfect to fit your style. The mango is known as the ‘King of fruit’. Legend has it that a Buddhist monk found tranquillity and repose in a mango grove – and the monks introduced the mango from East India and Burma to Malaysia and eastern Asia. The mango tree is used as the source material for a range of Indian furniture thanks to its inner beauty and strength. In India, some believe the mango tree is a symbol of love and that it can even grant wishes. For Hindus, fresh mango leaves are hung outside their front doors during the Hindu New Year as a blessing to the home. And the leaves are hung outside the homes of newlyweds to encourage fertility. It isn’t surprising that such a sacred tree offers such beautifully unique Indian furniture.
Mango Magic
Across the south east of Asia, traditionally nobles and kings cultivated private mango groves. The mango trees were seen as a source of pride and social status. As well as mango wood being sought after today to carve distinctive Indian furniture, the whole of the mango tree is used and valued. Apparently, Sanskrit poets believed chewing on mango buds gave sweetness to their voice. And of course, while mango wood may make beautiful furniture, the fruit is bursting with vitamin C and vitamin A – it’s estimated over 20 million metric tons are grown throughout the tropics and sub-tropics, from Malaysia to Pakistan, Thailand to China, Peru to Mexico.
