Old Damchiya - Carved Indian furniture n°36

Ancient Indian wedding chest carved in solid wood.

THE damchiya was the traditional chest containing the dowry that the Indian bride took with her to settle in with her husband. It was made at the request of the bride's family, in preparation for the wedding. Each piece is therefore unique!

This damchiya is a rare, old and unique piece. Instead of the two horses usually found at the corners, we can see two sculpted peacocks. Despite its age, it is very well preserved. The iron hinges and latch are original. A true collector's item. You can find more information about damchiya at our blog.

This is a vintage, second-hand piece, traces of use are present, which contributes to its unique character and charm.
