Known as a Damchiyā (a traditional dowry or storage chest), this piece, likely originating from Rajasthan or Gujarat and dating to the 19th century, is completely covered in intricate, all-over hand-carving. The deep, dark patina is a testament to its age and long life, highlighting the elaborate stylized floral and geometric patterns across its facade. The central lockable panel hints at its original purpose as a secured dowry chest or storage unit for valuables and grains. Measuring 43 inches long and 27 inches high, this antique carved chest serves beautifully in a modern home as a unique media console, a rustic console table, or a stunning accent chest in an entryway, bringing the unparalleled grandeur of Indian history into your space.
