Description from the seller

Large Rustic Display Cabinet – India – Early 20th Century

An elegant and characterful display cabinet from India, dating to the early 20th century (circa 1900–1930).

This large cabinet combines rustic authenticity with refined proportions. The façade features multiple glazed panel doors, allowing full visibility of the spacious interior shelves — ideal for displaying ceramics, books, collectibles or curated objects.

The softly weathered surface reveals layers of historic paint in muted tones, including subtle traces of yellow and green, creating a beautifully aged patina. The natural solid wood top contrasts warmly with the lighter façade, highlighting the honest craftsmanship and material quality.

Inside, generous shelving provides practical storage while maintaining an airy, architectural presence due to the glass panels.

The cabinet stands on small block feet and retains its original hardware and hinges. Wear and surface irregularities are consistent with age and historical use, adding to its authenticity and charm.

A versatile statement piece suited for rustic, wabi-sabi, Mediterranean or contemporary interiors.


Dimensions:

Width: 206 cm
Height: 116 cm
Depth: 47 cm
Weight approximately ~ 105kg

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.
