Capabilities

The seasoning plant is why our furniture arrives the way it left.

Solid wood moves. Our vacuum-assisted, dual-flow air seasoning chambers bring every plank to 6–10% moisture before a single cut is made, so joints stay tight through an ocean crossing and a Chicago winter. It was the first plant of its kind in northern India, and it still sets the tempo of the factory.

  • Imported machineryFour-side planer-moulder, wide-belt sanders, tongue-and-groove cutters, multi-purpose woodworking centres and pneumatic plank handling.

Materials

Timbers we know by hand.

All timber is sourced from Indian plantation and agroforestry supply, with documentation for Lacey Act and EU import declarations.

Sheesham wood textureNatural · wax finish

Sheesham

Dalbergia sissoo · Indian rosewood

The wood Jodhpur's furniture trade was built on. Dense, tight-grained and deep brown with darker streaks, it takes carving cleanly and polishes to a glass finish. Our standard timber for case goods, dining and heirloom-grade pieces.

Colour
Golden brown to deep chocolate with dark streaks
Density
Heavy hardwood, high indentation resistance
Best for
Sideboards, dining tables, carved and turned work
Finishes
Natural wax, honey, walnut, dark espresso, lacquer
Acacia wood textureNatural · matte lacquer

Acacia

Acacia spp. · plantation-grown

Our most-shipped timber to US importers: strong, stable once seasoned, and lively in figure with contrasting sapwood and heartwood. Suits the reclaimed, live-edge and wood-and-iron looks that retail programs favour.

Colour
Light gold to warm amber, strong figure
Density
Hardwood, comparable to oak
Best for
Plank tables, benches, live-edge tops, consoles
Finishes
Natural, grey-wash, distressed, oil-rubbed
Mango wood textureNatural · light stain

Mango

Mangifera indica · orchard-harvested

Taken from orchards after their fruiting life, mango is the sustainable choice buyers ask for by name. Lighter and more even in tone, it takes colour stains and painted finishes well and keeps landed cost down on volume lines.

Colour
Pale straw to mid brown, occasional spalting
Density
Medium hardwood
Best for
Painted and stained case goods, bedroom, décor
Finishes
Colour stains, milk paint, two-tone, whitewash
Babool wood textureNatural · oil finish

Babool

Vachellia nilotica · desert acacia

The hardest of the local timbers and native to Rajasthan's arid belt. Reddish-brown and very durable, we use it for turned legs, bed rails and structural members where strength matters more than figure.

Colour
Reddish brown, darkening with age
Density
Very heavy hardwood
Best for
Legs, frames, rails, outdoor-rated pieces
Finishes
Oil, wax, dark stains
Forged matte black iron detailForged · matte black

Wrought iron

Hand-forged and MIG-welded mild steel

Jodhpur's ironwork tradition sits beside the wood shop. Frames are forged, welded, ground and then powder-coated or hand-finished, so wood-and-iron pieces are engineered together rather than sourced apart.

Sections
Round, square and flat bar; tube; laser-cut sheet
Finishes
Powder coat, antique brass, gunmetal, rust-effect, zinc
Best for
Table bases, stools, shelving, bed frames, lanterns
Testing
Seat-load and stability checks on all seating

Heritage

A Jodhpur family business, run like an export house.

Bhati & Company was founded in 1999 in Jodhpur, the Rajasthan city whose blue-washed old town and wood-carving lanes have supplied the world's furniture trade for a century. The company is now in its third generation, and being customer-focused is part of the family's DNA rather than a slogan on a wall.

We grew from a workshop into an integrated exporter by investing in what buyers could not see in a showroom: seasoning, machinery, packing engineering and the logistics discipline to hit a sailing. Today we show at Europe's and North America's principal trade fairs and ship container programs to some of the largest home retailers in the United States.

What has not changed is the bench. Carvers, turners, polishers and blacksmiths trained in Jodhpur's guild tradition still make every piece by hand where the hand does it better.
