FAQ
What does the "Solar" in the name refer to?
The "Solar" reference is to the hand-carved circular sunburst design across the cabinet's double doors. Each door features radiating lines emerging from a central point, creating a visual sunburst pattern that gives the cabinet its name. The sunburst is a cross-cultural decorative motif appearing across many traditions (Egyptian Ra symbolism, Aztec sun imagery, French Sun King decorative arts, Art Deco geometric patterns) without being authentic to any single tradition.
Are the gold accents real gold or gold-finish metal?
The handles and legs are gold-finished metal rather than solid gold. The gold finish provides the visual contrast against the black wood without the cost or maintenance of solid gold hardware. With proper care (avoiding abrasive cleaners and concentrated moisture), the gold finish maintains its character over years of indoor use.
Will the cabinet fit through standard doorways?
The 120 × 50 × 170cm cabinet dimensions need to be checked against the access pathways at the delivery address. Standard internal doorways in SA homes are typically 80 × 200cm, which the cabinet's 50cm depth and 170cm height fit through; the 120cm length means horizontal navigation around corners may need careful manoeuvring. Confirm delivery access at the time of order, particularly for narrow hallways, tight stairwells, or specific apartment access.
Is the carved sunburst the same on both doors?
The base sunburst design is consistent across both doors as part of the matching pair, with the radiating pattern repeating on each door for visual symmetry. As the carving is hand-applied, subtle differences in line depth, surface character, and finish distribution differ between the two doors and across pieces in the range, which is part of how hand-carved furniture presents.
What's the warranty?
The piece is covered by Sotran's 3-year warranty on solid wood furniture. Hand-carving variation, hand-applied finish character, and natural wood grain differences are part of how solid wood furniture presents and are not warranty defects.
