Bring a piece of Indian heritage into your home with this Antique Blue Patina Teak Wood Surti Coffee Table Chest, dating from around 1860. Handcrafted in Gujarat State from thick, durable teak, this chest is iron and brass bound for extra strength and security. The original blue paint, now beautifully distressed, creates a unique “shabby chic” look, complemented by the natural teak and subtle hints of cream and brown.
Originally commissioned by families to store valuables such as textiles, jewellery, dowries, and cash, these chests were always locked with strong padlocks. Today, this one-of-a-kind piece is perfect as a coffee table with generous internal storage for magazines, blankets, or keepsakes. The original wooden wheels add flexibility and character, making it easy to move and reposition in any room.
