Southern India or Sri Lanka, circa 1720.
English colonial furniture of this era is very rare. England's stronghold on India was tentative an shared with Portugal and the Netherlands. It was not until later in the 18th century when England reigned supreme that we find much "English" furniture made in the Sub continent. A piece of this quality and in this condition is exceptional.
