{"product_id":"painted-almirah-four-panel-cabinet","title":"Painted Almirah Cabinet From Gujarat - 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis striking 19th-century Indian almirah cabinet is a beautifully proportioned example of traditional subcontinental craftsmanship. Unlike many Indian cupboards that were originally recessed into architectural niches, this is a freestanding piece — a less common and highly practical form. Its façade is richly decorated with hand-painted geometric and urn motifs, framed in soft terracotta, blue and cream tones that have gently mellowed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface displays an authentic distressed painted finish with delicate crackling and layers of worn colour, creating exceptional depth and texture. A finely carved frieze runs along the top, featuring scrolling foliage, while the shaped base and carved apron add further sculptural detail. Inside, the cabinet opens to reveal a warm-toned wooden interior fitted with three shelves, offering generous storage. Two drawers set into the base, each with brass cup handles, provide additional practicality.\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 Solid wood with original distressed painted finish, brass handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted panels, carved top frieze, carved base apron, three internal shelves, two lower drawers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with age-related wear, paint loss and natural crackling consistent with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W99 x D53 x H158 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57038566588799,"sku":"A04080","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Painted_19th_Century_Indian_Almirah_Cabinet_With_Distressed_Cream_Blue_And_Terracotta_Finish_Carved_Frieze_Three_Shelves_And_Two_Drawers_A04080.jpg?v=1772194332","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/painted-almirah-four-panel-cabinet","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
