Original Antique Indian Teak Wood Thakat Coffee Table with Glass Top – c1890

This exquisite antique Indian Thakat coffee table, crafted in the late 19th century (circa 1890), originates from Gujarat, India. Made from solid teak wood, it showcases intricate hand-carved details and comes with a toughened glass top for added functionality and protection. Traditional Thakats like this one were multi-purpose pieces used for working, dining, and even sleeping. They were also commonly commissioned by village heads for meetings or used by merchants as work platforms.

This particular example is taller than most traditional Thakats and was likely an interior piece of superior quality, originally used for dining. Its solid construction, fine carving, and beautiful patina reflect its age and history, with minor artisan repairs that attest to its value to previous owners. The wear consistent with over a century of use adds to its charm and character.

Perfect as a coffee or occasional table for a large room, this unique piece is a true centrepiece that brings history and elegance into any home. Each item has been personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team during their travels in Rajasthan, India, ensuring authenticity and uniqueness. Dimensions: 97 x 66 x 46 cm (38.2 x 26 x 18 inches).
