Antique Indian Painted Teak Wood Thakat Coffee Table

This wonderfully rare and original nineteenth century painted teak wood thakat table is heavy and comes with a solid table top. It has almost certainly come from a large well to do Victorian household, and was used to gather around and eat from, with guests sat on the floor. This version has 2 drawers fitted. Now well over 120 years old in Indian teak wood, it is in beautiful original condition, ready to grace any lounge, as a perfect sized coffee table, with rooms for books or magazines. Tables like this from India are found in an extraordinary variety of styles, sizes, colours and shapes reflecting the many purposes and regions they came from. It is now very hard to find these in such a good size and in original condition, that can be usefully placed anywhere. This is also a unique one of piece which was made by hand many years ago and has a lovely patina which really shows its age and history. There are some historic minor repairs and age related marks and wear and tear as you would expect. Please be sure to check all photos as these form part of the description. Dimensions: Width 91cm x Depth 50cm x Height 24cm.
