Original Antique Indian Teak Wood Thakat Coffee Table – c1890

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

This particular piece is 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 true 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.
