{"product_id":"antique-indian-painted-teak-cabinet-front","title":"Painted Teak Cabinet Front Panel - 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully weathered teak cabinet front dates to the 19th century and was once part of a larger piece of domestic furniture. Although the original cabinet has long since fallen into disrepair, this richly carved façade has been preserved for its exceptional decorative quality and architectural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-carved from solid teak, the panel features four striking sunburst medallions framed by floral and geometric detailing. The radiating motif reflects a design influence often associated with the Portuguese presence on India's western coast, where European decorative elements were absorbed into local craftsmanship and reinterpreted by Indian artisans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayers of original paint have worn gracefully over time, creating a soft palette of faded blues, creams and natural timber tones. This aged surface, combined with the depth of the carving, gives the piece a character and authenticity that cannot be replicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the panel makes a striking wall-mounted decorative object, bringing texture, history and architectural interest to both traditional and contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved sunburst motifs, original painted finish, architectural salvage, Portuguese-influenced decorative detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with wear, losses and weathering consistent with age and its former use as furniture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W60 x D5 x H104 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56993681277311,"sku":"A04087","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Antique_Indian_Painted_Teak_Cabinet_Front_A04087.jpg?v=1780665307","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/antique-indian-painted-teak-cabinet-front","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
