The Rich Legacy of Reclaimed Madras Teak
Sourced from historic buildings and colonial-era structures in South India, Madras Burma Teak is one of the best, rare and prized variety of teakwood. It stands out for its tight, straight grain, rich golden-brown hue, and decades of natural seasoning. Reclaimed from old constructions, it’s well-aged, fully dried, and ready to perform without warping or shrinking.
Customers choose Madras Burma Teak for its vintage appeal, structural stability, and timeless elegance — making it ideal for restorations, luxury furniture, and upscale interiors.
The true value of Madras Teak lies in its journey. Having naturally seasoned for decades within architectural structures, the timber has achieved a level of stability and density that new wood cannot replicate. This slow aging process results in unparalleled resistance to warping and a deep, rich patina that tells a story of a bygone era. Each plank is, quite literally, a piece of history.
