The Al-Atiq Sideboard is an exquisite bridge between the past and the present. Each unit is centered around reclaimed wood panels that originated from historic Haveli doors in Rajasthan. These panels showcase the Sun-Mandala, a geometric symbol historically representing the source of life and cosmic order. By salvaging these intricate elements and setting them within a sleek, modern mango wood frame, Pan Home celebrates the preservation of Indo-Persian artistry for the 21st-century collector.
The craftsmanship involves a specialized "Upcycling Relief" technique, where antique carvings are carefully restored, sanded, and integrated into new structures. This process requires a master artisan to match the grain and aging of the new mango wood to the century-old reclaimed elements. The result is a piece that possesses the "soul" of an heirloom while offering the structural reliability of new furniture. Every chisel mark on the door panels is a testament to the artisan's touch, creating a play of light and shadow that mass-produced, laser-cut pieces simply cannot emulate.
