About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely antique circa 1880-1900 Indian Teluga Kavidpetti Marriage Dowry chest with campaign handles and original wooden wheels A very well made and decorative chest, designed as a dowry piece to be given by the father of the bride in an Indian wedding, you would have gold, jewellery, land deeds, money and fine linens stored inside, I can just imagine how exciting it must have been to open one of these when full! Now a days it’s a fantastic decorators piece, great for storing small items and again folded linens, I have seen them used as coffee tables, side lamp tables and so on The piece has been lightly restored to include a deep clean, hand condition wax and hand polish from top to bottom, it has all the original charm and charisma you would hope to find Dimensions Height:- 55cm Width:- 84cm Depth:- 45cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Pulborough warehouses Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition.
