Vintage Inspired Indian Hard Wood Surti Treasure Chest Coffee Table

This stunning vintage-inspired Surti treasure chest is a timeless piece crafted from thick 19th-century teak wood, bound with iron and brass for added strength. Originating from Gujarat State, India, these chests were traditionally custom-made by the head of the family to store valuables such as jewellery, textiles, dowries, and cash. Locked with strong padlocks for maximum security, they reflect the rich cultural diversity of India through their unique designs and craftsmanship.

This particular chest retains its beautiful original painted teak wood finish and showcases a lovely patina that highlights its age and history. It is the perfect height and depth for use as a coffee table while doubling as a storage box for magazines, newspapers, or books. As a one-of-a-kind handmade piece, it features minor historic repairs and age-related marks that add character and authenticity.

Each item has been personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team during their travels in Rajasthan, India, ensuring its uniqueness. Dimensions: 89 x 43 x 48 cm (35 x 17 x 18.9 inches).
