Pair of 19th Century Anglo-Indian Carved Chests on Custom Metal Stands
$ 99.26
- This distinctive pair of Anglo-Indian chests dates to the 19th century and reflects the rich cross-cultural furniture tradition developed in India for the British market. Crafted in solid hardwood, each chest features deeply carved drawer fronts with a bold radiating sunburst motif, framed by brass edging and fitted with original recessed brass pulls. The carving is confident and graphic, giving the pair strong visual presence without relying on excessive ornament. The two chests are closely related but not identical, which adds to their authenticity and charm. One chest is configured with two long drawers, while the other features two smaller drawers over a single long drawer below—a subtle variation typical of workshop-made pieces rather than later matched sets. Their proportions are balanced and architectural, with flat plank tops and clean-lined sides showing attractive surface wear and patina consistent with age. Both chests are presented on modern custom metal stands, which elevate the pieces to a practical height while providing a clean visual contrast to the richly textured wood. The stands are intentionally understated, allowing the focus to remain on the carving and warm tonal depth of the wood. Well suited for use as a pair of dressers, sideboards, or statement storage in a bedroom, living space, or entry hall, these chests work equally well in traditional interiors and more eclectic or contemporary settings where historic character is desired without heaviness. Height: 30.5 in (77.47 cm) Width: 41.5 in (105.41 cm) Depth: 15.5 in (39.37 cm)
