Historical context
During the British Colonial era (mid-19th to early-20th century), Anglo-Indian furniture flourished as a unique blend of European design and Indian artistry.
Teakwood pieces such as this were produced in workshops in Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta for export to British and European households. The deep relief carving, exotic motifs, and warm teak patina were celebrated symbols of craftsmanship and cultural exchange.
A high-end quality showpiece and a true eye-catcher in any interior — from classic Colonial to contemporary eclectic.
