AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Handcrafted Rajasthani sideboard executed in a deep matte black finish, featuring traditional iron hardware and architectural panel construction.

The façade is composed of multiple vertically framed wooden panels reinforced with horizontal and vertical iron straps. Hand-forged iron ring pulls and exposed hinges reflect traditional North Indian cabinet-making techniques. The carved vertical corner elements subtly reference architectural pillar motifs commonly found in regional temple and haveli construction.

The restrained black surface enhances the sculptural quality of the hardware and wood grain, creating a strong yet understated presence suitable for both contemporary and classic interiors.

The interior is fitted with shelving compartments behind multiple doors, offering practical storage capacity across the full width of the cabinet.



Dimensions:
208 x 90 x 36 cm (W x H x D)

Weight:
Approx. 69 kg


Condition:
Overall good structural condition. Minor surface wear and age-related irregularities consistent with handcrafted production.
There is a small corner damage (visible in the full photo set), which does not affect stability or functionality.

A well-balanced example of Rajasthani utilitarian furniture, combining robust construction, iron detailing and architectural proportions.
