Handcrafted Teak & Iron Statement Seat from Punjab, India
Rustic Heritage Bench | Antique Teakwood with Iron Accents | Circa 1800s

Step into the soulful past of rural India with this striking bench, artfully upcycled from an authentic 19th-century bullock cart sourced from the fields of Punjab. Once a vital mode of transport for goods, grain, and families across India’s agrarian landscapes, this antique structure has been lovingly transformed into a functional heirloom seat with enduring beauty.

✦ A Bench with a Story

This bench was born from history—crafted from solid aged teak, its robust frame once formed part of an ox-drawn cart. Still bearing the marks of generations, the hand-forged iron rods and fastenings remain intact, telling tales of craftsmanship and community.

The high, architectural backrest reflects the original canopy structure that shielded passengers from sun and dust. Its geometric form and subtle railwork evoke both function and elegance. With every grain, joint, and iron accent, this bench speaks of movement, memory, and resilience.
