Description from the seller
Indian Wooden Cabinet – Hand-Carved – Original Patina – ca. 1940–1950
An authentic handcrafted Indian cabinet, most likely dating from circa 1940–1950. The piece is distinguished by its balanced proportions, solid construction and beautifully aged surface with remnants of original polychrome paint.
The front features two paneled doors reinforced with horizontal and vertical rails, fitted with traditional iron hardware and ring handles. The softly weathered finish and layered paint traces create a refined, time-worn appearance that reflects decades of natural ageing.
The upper frieze is enriched with delicate hand-carved floral detailing beneath the cornice, demonstrating skilled craftsmanship. The cabinet stands on a solid plinth base, giving it a stable and architectural presence.
The interior is fitted with multiple fixed shelves, offering practical storage space.
Dimensions:
185 x 92 x 44 cm (H x W x D)
Weight: approx. 70 kg
Condition: in good used condition consistent with age and origin. Wear, surface irregularities and paint losses are present and contribute to its authentic character. Please refer carefully to the photographs for a complete impression.

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.
