Bring a piece of Indian heritage into your home with this antique teak wood dowry treasure chest, finished in a rich deep walnut brown. Traditionally used to protect a family’s most precious possessions—jewellery, manuscripts, silks, and heirlooms—this chest is a rare find from Rajasthan or Gujarat, dating to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century.
The robust iron hardware, including corner brackets, side handles, and a decorative central clasp, highlights its original craftsmanship. The deep walnut brown patina and visible grain tell the story of generations past, while the classic rectangular form and subtle feet give it timeless appeal. Its versatile proportions make it perfect as a coffee side table, blanket box, or hallway storage. Expect authentic age-related marks and minor historic repairs, which only enhance its unique character and appeal.
