Quality home furnishings & imaginative decor
The Jali is a heritage design that has been around since the times of the Maharaj. The original definition of jali (or jaali) is the term for a perforated stone or latticed screen with an ornamental pattern constructed through the use of calligraphy and geometry. Early work was performed by carving into stone, while the later more elegant use by the Mughals employed the technique of inlay, using marble and semi-precious stones. The decoration can also be seen Islamic architecture as well as in Indian architecture, it adds an interesting touch to modern homes and coordinates particularly well with Moroccan decorative schemes.
The wood is stained and waxed to provide a honey finish, the beautiful mixing of the light and dark grains of the wood means that no two pieces are exactly the same. The range includes living and dining furniture which coordinates wonderfully whilst the variation in grain colours also makes it ideal for blending in with other types of wood. This is a solid well made range of furniture with a top quality finish.

We are Debbie and Andy Wilkes, we both love to travel. I’m passionate about colours and fabrics, particularly saris. I love to wander round the souks of Morocco although I'm also very happy in the John Lewis cushion department. Andy is a foodie and is in charge of the food buying for the shop, and usually making dinner too. We’ve added 3 cats to the family since moving here, one that adopted us and one came out of a bin at a few hours old and had to be bottle fed every 2 hours. If you have any queries or you’d just like to contact someone real please do send us a mail, dropl in, or give us a call.
