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

Very happy

We're very happy with the chest of drawers. Great touch is supplying a small amount of paint and a brush for touch-ups.

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
