{"product_id":"antique-indian-damchiya-cabinet-sideboard-pitara","title":"Antique Indian Damchiya Cabinet Sideboard | Pitara","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"311\"\u003eThis antique h\u003cspan\u003eand-carved rustic wooden sideboard \/\u003c\/span\u003e Indian cabinet carries the quiet presence that only time and craftsmanship can create. Rich in texture and softened through generations of use, the piece is believed to originate from Western India, most likely Rajasthan or Gujarat, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, circa 1880–1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"313\" data-end=\"656\"\u003eIts low, architectural proportions are reminiscent of traditional Damchiya dowry chests — heirloom pieces once used to store textiles, ceremonial garments and household linens. Handcrafted from solid hardwood, likely teak, the cabinet showcases skilled vernacular craftsmanship, with traditional joinery and hand-finished detailing throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003eThe frontage features beautifully hand-carved geometric panels, aged metal cladding and original iron studwork, each element individually applied rather than machine made. Subtle irregularities within the carving and metalwork speak to the honesty of handmade construction and add to the individuality of the piece. Over time, the timber has mellowed into a wonderfully soft, dry finish with layers of natural wear, faded pigment and tonal variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003eThough rich in detail, the cabinet retains a restrained character that allows it to sit comfortably within both rustic and contemporary interiors. The generous top surface styles beautifully beneath artwork or a mirror, while the internal storage offers practical space for linens, ceramics, books or everyday objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003eAs with all genuine antique furniture, signs of age, historic repairs and imperfections are part of the cabinet’s authenticity and enduring appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"1961\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"i1kwsg\" data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003eAntique Indian Damchiya-style cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1n9lauh\" data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1686\"\u003eRajasthan or Gujarat origin, circa 1880–1920\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1bmli1y\" data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003eHandcrafted from solid hardwood, likely teak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"p1i0b8\" data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1790\"\u003eHand-carved detailing with original metal cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nnq903\" data-start=\"1791\" data-end=\"1833\"\u003eOriginal iron studwork and aged patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"n7ynpd\" data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1870\"\u003ePractical internal storage space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1bhmtvm\" data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"1919\"\u003eIdeal for living rooms, hallways or bedrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1woostp\" data-start=\"1920\" data-end=\"1961\"\u003eOne-of-a-kind antique statement piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 78cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth 116cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDept 43cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternal shelf height 22cm, Internal width 86cm, Inernal Depth 34cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259962446165,"sku":"26910461031720","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/6672\/5717\/files\/IMG_0900_4281bea6-d011-4ac8-93ae-50348e7b605d.jpg?v=1782932001","url":"https:\/\/simplywooduk.com\/products\/antique-indian-damchiya-cabinet-sideboard-pitara","provider":"Simply Wood Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
