18th-Century Antique Bullock Cart Table

Handcrafted Gujarati Hardwood Table with Original Ironwork and Heritage Carvings

Step into the Rustic Soul of India

This rare 18th-century antique bullock cart table from Gujarat captures the enduring beauty of Indian rural craftsmanship. Once a working ox cart that carried harvests across village fields, it has been thoughtfully reimagined into a striking low table that unites heritage, design, and sustainability. Each element, from its carved edges to its aged ironwork, preserves the legacy of agrarian India and its spirit of handmade artistry.

Handcrafted Heritage with Historic Detail

Constructed from solid reclaimed hardwood, this table retains its original iron rings, brackets, and fastenings. Decorative carvings along the apron, arched legs, and side panels reveal the hand skills of Gujarati artisans who combined form with function. A faintly inscribed family insignia adds further depth and authenticity, connecting this piece to its lineage and local history.

This piece, now more than two centuries old, celebrates those traditions while finding new life as a sculptural centrepiece for the modern interior.
