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

Hand-carved from a single slab of dense brown marble and paired with its original hardwood rolling pin, this Patlo & Velan set once served as the heart of a 19th-century Indian kitchen. For over a century, it transformed dough into chapatis—nourishing families with daily ritual. Today, the softly worn marble, time-darkened wood, and purpose-built iron display stand elevate this humble tool into sculptural décor, celebrating India’s everyday craftsmanship and living history.

✦ Why It Stands Out

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

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

• Mixed-Material Display – Custom black-iron base contrasts cool stone with warm wood and industrial metal.

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

• Collectible Provenance – A genuine utilitarian object transformed into an objet d’art for antique kitchenware collectors and design lovers alike.

✦ Story & Symbolism

In Indian homes, chapati boards (patlos) were more than tools—they symbolised nourishment, rhythm, and family tradition. Marble kept the dough cool in hot climates, while the balanced weight of the wooden velan ensured perfectly rolled breads. Displaying this set today invites conversation about slow food, sustainable craftsmanship, and the artistry of everyday life.
