This brass and iron bound teak wood dowry chest known as a pithara in India has been reduced in depth to create a dramatic console table. It dates to the early 19th century and also has a secret compartment.

This style of pithara is from a Kathi home in Saurashtra and was known in the local dialect as a pataro. The Kathi were a ruling caste in Saurashtra and these chests would have contained a grand dowry. It is perfect for storage of bedding for occasional guests.

Chests and boxes from India are found in an extraordinary variety of styles reflecting the many cultures that influenced India.
