Carved Jax Sideboard
The Carved Jax Sideboard is a 215cm dining room piece built around salvaged Indian door panels in hand-distressed turquoise blue, set within a dark solid wood structural frame with traditional iron studding and glass-front central doors. Each unit is genuinely one-of-a-kind, since the Indian door panels are reclaimed from antique buildings and no two doors carry identical carving, weathering, or paint distribution. The 2.15m length anchors a generous dining room, expansive lounge, or eclectic statement entryway.

FAQ
Are the door panels genuinely reclaimed or distressed reproductions?
Genuinely reclaimed. The carved panels are salvaged from antique Indian doors, removed from buildings during renovation or demolition and integrated into a new sideboard frame. The hand-distressed turquoise is the original paintwork weathered by decades of use, not artificial aging applied to new wood.
Is each Jax Sideboard identical?
No. The base form, structural frame, and proportions are consistent across pieces, but the carving patterns, paint distribution, weathering, and iron studding placement vary between units, since the panels come from different antique doors. Each sideboard is genuinely one-of-a-kind.
What is the antique provenance of the panels?
The panels are salvaged from traditional Indian havelis (courtyard mansions) and rural homes built with substantial wooden doors. The exact age and origin of individual panels varies by piece, but the carved-and-painted style traces to traditional Indian door craft rather than reproduction work.
Does it come pre-assembled?
Yes. The sideboard arrives fully assembled with no assembly required.
Can I use it outdoors or on a covered patio?
No, the sideboard is designed for indoor use only. The salvaged paintwork and the antique iron studding are not weather-rated for sustained outdoor placement.
Will the colour or finish change over time?
The hand-distressed turquoise paint may continue to soften with years of indoor use, particularly in positions that catch direct sunlight. The dark wood frame deepens slightly with age. Both changes are gradual and add to the antique character rather than degrading the piece.
What's the warranty?
The piece is covered by Sotran's 3-year warranty on solid wood furniture. Reclaimed-material variation, salvaged paint distribution, and iron studding patina are not warranty defects, since they are part of how genuinely reclaimed furniture presents.
Does Sotran deliver nationwide?
Yes, with nationwide South African delivery in 4 to 10 business days. Collection from Boksburg, Fourways, or Somerset West can also be arranged.
