Rosewood room dividers — dense, dark-grained folding screens built to anchor a space.
Solid Indian rosewood — sheesham, with Dalbergia latifolia for the top grades — carved into jali screens and slatted partitions with deep colour and dramatic figure. Manufacturer-exporter pricing, CITES-compliant legality paperwork, and a build that survives the retail floor and the hotel lobby alike.
The densest, darkest, most richly figured screen we make.
A room divider is one of the highest-demand, highest-margin pieces a furniture buyer stocks, and a rosewood screen is how you position the premium tier. The timber — Indian rosewood / sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo), with the denser Dalbergia latifolia for the finest grades — carries deep brown-to-reddish tones and strong dark streaking that make every panel unique. It is a close-grained hardwood with natural oils that resist wear and insects, and it is dense enough to hold the crisp hand-carved and CNC-cut jali lattice that defines the Indian partition. Every joint is solid-wood mortise and tenon with brass or iron hinges — no plywood, no panel board — so the screen reads as an heirloom and lasts like one.
What rosewood gives your divider program.
Hardness that lasts
Among the hardest furniture timbers — Indian rosewood around 2,400 lbf Janka, sheesham around 1,660 lbf, both well above oak. Frames and hinges take years of being folded, opened and moved without loosening.
Depth of colour & figure
Deep brown-to-purple heartwood with dramatic dark streaking. Oil and wax finishes make the grain glow, giving a genuinely premium partition no veneer or printed panel can imitate.
Holds fine carving
The density that makes rosewood hard also makes it ideal for intricate jali fretwork and inlay — the lattice patterns stay crisp and the panels stay flat, the detail buyers pay the premium for.
One certified rosewood screen, several looks.
Each style is built on the same solid rosewood frame and confirmed on your approved sample before production. Custom carving patterns, panel counts and sizes are standard OEM work.
Carved jali screens
Hand-carved and CNC-cut lattice in dense rosewood — the signature Indian partition, in geometric and floral patterns to your drawing.

Care & use: Rosewood screens are kiln-dried to export moisture levels so they resist cracking in heated or air-conditioned rooms. Wipe with a soft dry cloth, keep clear of prolonged direct sun to preserve the deep colour, and refresh oil- or wax-finished frames once or twice a year. Carved jali dusts easily with a soft brush; wrought-iron frames are powder-coated against corrosion. Full care and finish guidance ships with every order, and we can supply care cards under your branding.

Rosewood legality handled before your container is booked.
Carved rosewood screens draw the sharpest scrutiny of any furniture product at the EU and US border, because Dalbergia is CITES-listed and lattice panels are exactly what customs inspect. We build the paperwork around every order — CITES-compliant sheesham handling, Vriksh timber-legality and FSC chain-of-custody, with EUDR-ready geolocation, ISO, SGS and SEDEX/SMETA behind it — so your load clears while others sit at the port. Certificate numbers go directly to serious buyers; we never publish them.

| Sustainability | FSC chain-of-custody · deforestation-free |
| EU market | EUDR-ready · geolocation · UKTR |

What buyers ask before they place the order.
What wood is a rosewood room divider made from?
In our workshops a rosewood room divider is built on a solid frame of Indian rosewood — sheesham, botanically Dalbergia sissoo — with the denser, darker Dalbergia latifolia used for premium grades. It is a close-grained hardwood with deep brown-to-reddish tones and dramatic dark streaking, which is why carved jali and slatted rosewood screens read as a genuinely premium, heirloom partition rather than a lightweight panel.
Is rosewood CITES-controlled, and can you export the dividers legally?
Yes. Dalbergia species are listed on CITES Appendix II, so rosewood must be sourced and shipped with proper legality paperwork — which is exactly what we provide. We handle sheesham on a CITES-compliant basis, backed by Vriksh timber-legality verification, FSC chain-of-custody and EUDR-ready geolocation with deforestation-free due diligence, plus US Lacey Act and UK Timber Regulation support. Certificates go directly to serious buyers so carved screens clear customs cleanly.
What sizes and panel counts do rosewood room dividers come in?
Standard folding screens run 3, 4 or 6 panels, each panel typically 40–50 cm wide and 150–180 cm tall, for a deployed width of roughly 120–300 cm. Fixed and partition-height screens are made to your drawing, and panel count, carving pattern, hinge type and finish are confirmed on an approved sample before production.
Can rosewood room dividers ship flat-pack to cut freight?
Yes. Folding screens fold flat by design and panel dividers ship knockdown (RTA) with concealed hardware — both maximise container density and cut breakage, which matters with a dense timber like rosewood. We also offer branded, retail-ready and Amazon-FBA-ready packaging.
How durable is a rosewood room divider?
Rosewood is one of the hardest, densest furniture timbers — Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia) rates around 2,400 lbf on the Janka scale and sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) around 1,660 lbf, both well above oak. Its density holds crisp carved jali detail and its natural oils resist wear, so a rosewood screen takes years of being opened, closed and moved on a retail floor or in a hotel lobby.
Do you make custom and private-label rosewood dividers?
Yes — we are ODM (our own catalogue designs) and OEM (made to your drawings, carving patterns, finishes and private label), including custom CNC-cut jali, bespoke sizes, grades and your own branded packaging. A trial or sample screen can ship LCL first so you approve the wood, carving and finish before a container run.
Send a reference or a drawing — we'll quote grade, carving, finish, MOQ and lead time.
Start with a sample screen to prove the build, then scale to repeat containers. One compliant, QC-governed source for your premium partition tier — see the full wholesale room divider range to consolidate woods and styles in a single load, or read the rosewood material guide for grades and finishes.
