Baba One of a Kind

Rooted in India's Mughal era traditions, bone inlay evolved over centuries of trade between East and West, where Indian artisans adapted European furniture styles and transformed them through intricate handwork using exotic woods such as teak, ebony, and rosewood. Each piece of bone is individually hand cut, shaped, and carefully set into place, an incredibly detailed and time intensive process that has been passed down through generations. It is this remarkable level of artistry that makes bone inlay furniture so highly prized today.
This antique teak bone inlay cabinet is a true reflection of that heritage, a living work of art.

We love visiting Ginger Cafe, good people and delicious food. Happy Father’s Day.

One of the kindest couples you’ll ever meet. We always love having them at Ginger Café, and it was great catching up with them recently. I’ve known them since my days at Carroll High School, and my wife Bela and I had such a great time talking with them.

It was also a pleasure meeting Bill Wilhelmina. We truly enjoyed the conversation and appreciate them stopping by. They loved the food, and the perfect way to end the meal was with some baklava for dessert!

Y’all should go check them out! They have some really unique and cool items at Baba One of a Kind right next to Sugar Bakers. Support an awesome local business and some even better people.

And how fitting is it that their store is called Baba Store, “Baba” means father in Arabic (بابا) and is also a common word for father or grandfather in many parts of India. So it’s only right to wish all the amazing babas out there a very Happy Father’s Day weekend ❤️ We can’t wait to see yall again soon.

Join us for Father’s Day and treat your father for something special and different.

I rarely come across a solid wood door cabinet while sourcing, so I had to grab this one in Mumbai. With a colonial-inspired soul, warm grain, gentle dents, and stories tucked into every surface. The kind of piece that only gets better with age.

Yay! Our India shipment is here.
I spent weeks sourcing in India and months waiting for these treasures to arrive.
Thousands of miles wandering through villages and street-side vendors in search of pieces with history and character.
Bringing home hand-selected Indian antiques and colonial-era pieces from the British and French periods in India. Every piece carries a story of its own. Thank you to everyone who helped unload this beast of a container. I couldn't do it without you guys.

For generations, shrines like this one have been found in Indian homes, creating a special place for prayer, reflection, and daily devotion. Antique teak shrine from Gujarat, India, with layers of original teal paint and a lifetime of use behind it.

Made from teak and crafted to outlast trends. Some chairs tell a story, this one has lived a few chapters already.

Proof that good taste never goes out of style.
Antique teak cabinet from Mumbai. Natural color, beautiful grain, and the kind of presence that makes a room feel collected.

I wish I could share every piece we’ve sold over the last two decades, each one becoming part of someone’s story, quietly woven into their everyday lives. I love imagining where they end up and how they quietly shift a space into something warmer and more lived in. They don’t just fill a room, they become part of its rhythm. Seeing them continue their journey is one of the greatest joys of what we do. Thank you to everyone for stopping by, sending pictures, and to those who quietly admire us. We bring the whimsy to our community.

This century-old sandstone trough tells its story through every chisel mark, crafted in the French style from a single block of sandstone. Originally used for feeding and watering animals, it is stunning as a planter or transformed into a fountain.

All the beauty we carry, old and new, from colorful accents to warm natural wood tones. A mix that has its own language and style.
