Kothla majus dowry chest – A rare vintage treasure

Discover timeless elegance: This antique dowry chest, hailing from Gujarat in the 19th century, boasts the unique kothla majus style of India. Crafted from luxurious teak wood, its depth has been reduced and its original fixed front panel transformed into two beautifully crafted doors, making it a practical and eye-catching sideboard for modern living. This one-of-a-kind chest represents the distinctive design of India's Gujarat province and was originally used to store valuable items and opulent fabrics, often presented as part of a bride's dowry to her new husband's parents. Weighing heavily, this chest may have once been equipped with wheels for ease of movement and features old iron rings on the sides, once used to secure ropes for transportation. A truly exquisite piece that would make a sophisticated addition to any space, providing both storage and a touch of elegance.

This piece brings character, history, and a touch of mid-century charm to any interior.
