Upcycled Vintage Rajasthani Pidha Chair

Hand-Carved Teakwood with Folding Backrest and Charpoy Rope Seat
Circa 1910 | Traditional Bridal Seat | Artisan Furniture from Rajasthan, India

A Piece of Tradition Reimagined

Step into a world where heritage and craftsmanship come together with this beautifully upcycled Pidha chair, a ceremonial seat from early 20th-century Rajasthan. Traditionally given as part of a bride’s trousseau, the Pidha symbolised comfort, grace, and continuity within family rituals. It was often used during weddings, religious ceremonies, and village gatherings, carrying with it the spirit of togetherness and celebration.

Handcrafted from solid seasoned teakwood, the chair features a folding backrest intricately carved with Rajasthani floral and jaali patterns, echoing the ornate screens of desert havelis. The charpoy-style seat is tightly woven with cotton rope in a herringbone design, offering both strength and breathability. Brass-sheathed leg accents, aged and polished by time, mark its ceremonial importance and artisan heritage.
