Description from the seller
Monumental Iron-Studded Sideboard – Rajasthan, India – Circa 1900
An impressive and monumental sideboard from Rajasthan, India, dating to the late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1880–1920).
With a remarkable width of 257 cm, this cabinet immediately commands attention. The façade is defined by heavy iron-studded doors and original hand-forged ring handles — elements traditionally seen on haveli and temple doors in Northern India.
The rhythmic placement of iron rivets and brackets gives the piece a strong architectural presence. The softly weathered surface, with layered patina and subtle remnants of historic pigment, enhances its authenticity and character.
The substantial solid wood top reveals beautiful natural grain and aging, adding warmth to its powerful structure.
Behind the four paneled doors, generous interior shelving provides practical storage, making this piece both sculptural and functional — ideal as a statement sideboard, media unit or architectural focal point in curated interiors.
Wear, surface irregularities and patina are consistent with age and historical use and contribute to its unique character.

Seller's Story
Hello, I am Matthijs. Welcome to MOFASA. My passion for Indian furniture and authentic craftsmanship began years ago during my travels through Rajasthan and Gujarat. Since then, I regularly travel to India to scout for unique furniture pieces: antique doors, hand-carved cabinets, traditional counters, and characterful interior objects.
Everything in my collection is personally selected and checked, directly from artisans and local traders. At MOFASA, you won't find mass production, but furniture with soul, history, and quality.
I strive for clear product information, honest communication, and reliable service. Perfect for anyone looking for unique Indian furniture or special items to enrich their interior.
