Upcycled Vintage Rajasthani Pidha Chair

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

✦ A Piece of Tradition Reimagined

Step into a world where heritage meets design with this beautifully upcycled Pidha chair, an heirloom artefact from early 20th-century Rajasthan. Traditionally gifted as part of a bride’s trousseau, the Pidha symbolised comfort, grace, and the continuity of family rituals—used during weddings, pujas, and village gatherings.

Crafted from solid seasoned teakwood, the chair features a folding backrest intricately hand-carved with Rajasthani floral and lattice jaali motifs, echoing the architectural screens of desert havelis. The charpoy-style seat is tightly handwoven in cotton rope with a striking herringbone pattern, combining breathability with resilience. Original brass-sheathed accents on the legs, burnished by touch and time, highlight its ceremonial importance.
