Original Antique Indian Teak Wood Thakat Coffee Table – c1890

This stunning antique Indian Thakat coffee table, dating back to the late 19th century (circa 1890), is a remarkable example of traditional craftsmanship from Gujarat, India. Made from solid teak wood, it showcases exquisite hand-carved details and a beautiful patina that reflects over a century of history. Traditional Thakats, like this one, served multiple purposes, including working, dining, and sleeping. They were also used by merchants as platforms or commissioned by village heads for gatherings to discuss important matters.

This particular piece is larger and taller than most traditional Thakats and was likely an interior dining table of superior quality. Its solid construction and beautifully aged surface make it a centrepiece for any home. The table features minor artisan repairs that attest to its value and authenticity, alongside wear consistent with its age.

Perfect as a coffee or occasional table for a large room, this unique piece combines functionality with historical charm. Each item has been personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team during their travels in Rajasthan, India, ensuring authenticity and uniqueness. Dimensions: 148 x 82 x 46 cm (58.3 x 32.3 x 18 inches).
