Absolutely stunning Indian hardwood “Damchiya” or wedding chest. 
Early 1800s from the time of the Raj in northern India. Hand carved with horse head details and geometric patterns. 
This piece will have been commissioned by the family of the bride as a wedding present to the grooms family. It will then have been presented at a lavish Indian wedding filled with silks, saris, gold jewellery, coins and even copper pans. 
It is expected that the horses would have been added at the family would have had a connection to horse riding or even polo. 
It was discovered in London where it would have been shipped as a treasured piece when the family emigrated.
W: 145cm x H: 85cm x D: 76cm

Gossip Bench

I absolutely love my gossip bench and it looks so stunning in my hallway. It has been beautifully restored to perfection, and I adore the colour – it truly brings out the character of the piece. The finish is exceptional, with every detail carefully considered. The seller couldn’t have been more helpful, offering great advice and going above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. The entire experience was smooth and pleasant, and I couldn’t be happier with the final result. I highly recommend this seller for their outstanding craftsmanship and customer service and the website is now going to be my go to!
