About Hoshiarpur furniture:
This Anglo-Indian style furniture dates back to around 1880 and originates from the Hoshiarpur area in Punjab, renowned for its exceptional and intricate inlay work. The Moorish style was particularly popular in the latter part of the 19th century, with similar tables being sold by Liberty of London.
This table exemplifies the exquisite inlaid designs characteristic of Hoshiarpur in the late 19th century. The region was celebrated for producing high-quality furniture with intricate inlays, and its craftsmanship was prominently featured at various local exhibitions during that era.
Many items were exported to Bombay and Calcutta and increasingly to London, England and records from the early 20th century state that ship loads of such items were exported to both Europe and America and many could be found in Italy, Spain, France and England.
