Antique Brown-Marble Chapati Board & Wooden Rolling Pin (Patlo & Velan)
Hand-Carved Rajasthan Marble | Original Hardwood Roller | Circa 1900 | Regen Bespoke Exclusive

✦ Culinary Heritage Reimagined as Art

Carved from a single slab of dense brown marble and paired with its original teakwood rolling pin, this Patlo & Velan set once turned dough into daily chapatis in a 19th-century Indian kitchen. A century later, the softly worn stone, time-darkened wood and purpose-built iron stand elevate it to sculptural décor—celebrating India’s everyday craftsmanship.

✦ Why It Stands Out

• Authentic 1900s Kitchenware – Rare survivor from a Gujarati household, complete with matching marble board and hardwood velan.

• Rich Patina & Tool Marks – Subtle surface variations record decades of culinary use, adding tactile depth and visual intrigue.

• Mixed-Material Display – Custom black-iron base creates a striking contrast between cool stone, warm wood and industrial metal.

• Versatile Styling – Perfect on a console, open shelf or kitchen island in rustic, wabi-sabi, minimalist or eclectic interiors.

• Collectible Provenance – Genuine utilitarian object turned objet d’art—ideal for antique cookery collectors and design lovers alike.

✦ Story & Symbolism

In Indian households, the chapati board is more than a tool; it represents nourishment, family ritual and everyday artistry. Marble kept dough cool in hot climates, while the rolling pin’s balanced weight ensured perfect flatbreads. Displaying this set invites conversation about slow food, sustainable materials and the beauty of humble objects.
