About the Item
Beautiful rare African antique bench or coffee table. Originally used as a day bed. Hand carved wheels and pretty carvings along the sides and head rest. A unique piece with lovely patina.
This antique bed was sourced in the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.

Antique Indian Rustic Wooden Ox Cart with Metal Accents Made into a Coffee Table
Located in Yonkers, NY
An Indian wooden ox cart with metal accents from the 19th century, made into a coffee table. This intriguing coffee table, repurposed from a 19th-century wooden ox cart, captures our imagination with its blend of rustic charm and unique design.

The sides present square motifs, each pierced in the center, creating a captivating pattern that draws the eye.
The front of the table is particularly eye-catching, featuring ornate scrolls and hooks that lend a whimsical touch to the piece. Raised on curving legs, the table stands with a sense of grace and solidity, making it a perfect centerpiece for any living room or family room. The weathered appearance of the wood, combined with the contrasting metal accents, evokes a sense of nostalgia and adventure, reminiscent of the bustling markets and vibrant cultures where such ox carts were once a common sight.
