Measuring 61 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 61 cm deep, the table rests upon a practical folding base that allows for easy storage or relocation.

FAQs

Hoshiarpur furniture originated in the Punjab region of India during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, known for intricate bone, ivory, or brass inlay set into dark hardwoods like rosewood or teak.

Craftspeople typically utilised dense native hardwoods, including teak and shisham, decorated with precise geometric inlay made from bone, mother-of-pearl, brass, or ivory.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved joinery, intricate hand-cut inlay patterns with slight structural irregularities, and folding or interlocking octagonal base structures with carved arches.

Position the table alongside neutral upholstery to let the geometric inlay serve as a focal point, pairing it with contemporary brass lighting or minimalist ceramics.

Keep the timber hydrated with a high-grade beeswax polish applied sparingly, and maintain a stable indoor humidity level to prevent the wood from expanding and loosening the inlay.
