This piece is a hand-carved Anglo-Indian colonial daybed (or planter’s chair) with a traditional cane seat.

Description

• Material: Solid hardwood, likely teak or rosewood, richly hand-carved.

• Design details:

  • Intricate floral and scroll carvings on the backrest and legs.

  • Finial posts with turned and carved detailing.

  • The seat is hand-caned in a tight geometric weave, showing some areas of wear consistent with age.

• Finish: Original dark polished patina, enhancing the depth of the carving.

• Era: Likely late 19th to early 20th century, when Anglo-Indian furniture combined European forms with Indian craftsmanship.

Condition

• Cane seat shows wear and would benefit from re-caning for daily use, though it retains its antique character.

• Wood carving is well preserved with minor signs of age, which add authenticity.

Use

• Originally designed as a daybed for colonial verandas.

• Today, it works as a statement accent piece in a living room, entryway, or bedroom, bringing old-world charm and craftsmanship.
