{"product_id":"brass-bound-rosewood-chest-from-gujarat","title":"Brass Bound Rosewood Chest From Gujarat - 18th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis impressive brass-bound rosewood chest originates from Gujarat and dates firmly to the 18th century. Robustly constructed and richly ornamented, it is a fine example of a large Indian dowry or storage chest, made to be both highly decorative and exceptionally durable. The exterior is densely mounted with decorative brass studs arranged in a repeating lattice pattern, complemented by brass strapwork, substantial brass ring handles to the sides, and iron swing handles to the front, all set against the warm, time-darkened rosewood ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifting the lid reveals a generous interior fitted with its original candle box, a practical feature commonly found in large Indian chests of this period, along with a sturdy iron chain designed to prevent the lid from falling back and placing strain on the hinges. The surface displays a rich patina with areas of wear consistent with age and use, lending the piece great authenticity and presence. Today, this substantial chest works beautifully as a statement storage piece, blanket chest, or coffee table in both traditional and eclectic interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gujarat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood, Brass, Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass Studded Lattice Decoration, Brass Strapwork, Brass Ring Handles, Iron Swing Handles, Internal Candle Box, Lid Support Chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Structurally Sound With Original Wear, Patina, And Minor Age-Related Marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W116 x D71 x H73 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56558362886527,"sku":"M1054","price":2150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Brass_Bound_Rosewood_Chest_From_Gujarat_With_Studded_Brass_Decoration_And_Ring_Handles_19th_Century_M1054.jpg?v=1765550464","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/brass-bound-rosewood-chest-from-gujarat","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
