About the product

Set of 4 Antique Brass Swing Chains (Jhula Chains) | Handcrafted with Peacock Finials | Indian Heritage Fittings, Circa 1900s Kerala

Add heritage, character, and craftsmanship to your interiors with this exquisite set of four antique swing chains, meticulously handcrafted from solid brass and adorned with regal peacock finials. Originating from Kerala, South India, and dating back to the early 1900s, these chains were traditionally used to suspend Jhulas (swings) in royal courtyards, ancestral verandas, and temple pavilions.

Craftsmanship & Symbolism

Each link in these solid brass chains is hand-forged with precise interlocking elements, forming a decorative yet highly functional support system. The finials are beautifully shaped in the form of stylised peacocks, long associated with grace, protection, and divine beauty in Indian folklore and temple iconography.

The tactile craftsmanship is evident in the detailing—both in the peacock's feathered tails and the rhythmic geometric links that form the chain body. Their aged golden patina has developed naturally over more than a century, giving each piece an air of quiet majesty and authenticity.

Dimensions (Per Chain):

  • Height: 210 cm

  • Width: 7 cm

  • Depth: 2 cm
