Glazed Teak Painted Book Cabinet - 19th Century

This handsome Indian glazed teak painted book cabinet dates to the 19th century and displays the timeless elegance of traditional Indian craftsmanship. Constructed from solid teak, the cabinet features four fixed shelves, providing ample space for books, linens, or decorative pieces.

The exterior is finished in layers of distressed turquoise and pale green paint, softly revealing the warm teak beneath and giving it a beautifully aged patina. Its arched door panels and moulded cornice lend a subtle decorative flourish, while the glass-paneled doors allow the interior contents to be displayed attractively.

Both sturdy and reliable, this piece has stood the test of time — a fine example of functional yet characterful Indian furniture that adds charm and authenticity to any interior.
