This highly decorative Indian teak chest dates from the days of the Raj, circa 19th century, and captures the timeless elegance of Mughal-influenced design with its bone inlay patterns. Originally used for storing valuables or ceremonial objects, its solid teak frame has aged beautifully with time.

The intricate bone inlay work, added later, is carefully handcrafted in the traditional style€”featuring scrolling floral vines and geometric borders that speak to the legacy of skilled Indian artisanship. A rich, dark patina enhances the contrast between the natural teak grain and the delicate white inlay.

Perfect as a feature piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living space, this chest offers both beauty and utility.
