Stunning monumental antique Anglo-Indian Damchiya, or dowry chest. Carved Burmese teak with hand forged iron strap work, very large scale with turned finials, hinged panel top with heavy chain top closure, and large open interior. Used for collecting and storing a young bride’s most precious silks, strongboxes such as this trace their origins to those created for the British East India Company which melded classic English design with Indian craftsmanship and embellishment. Measures 69.5L" x 32"W x 39.5"H.
Gorgeous aged patina. Structurally sound. Missing wood detail elements do not impact integrity. Crack to back and side as shown.
