Original Painted Cabinet

ORIGINAL PAINTED CABINET

Further to our wonderful collection of original painted furniture is this stunning cabinet. Originating from Jodhpur, Rajasthan this cabinet has been made using a native Indian hardwood – mango wood. A small family group of highly skilled artists, from a small rural village outside of the ‘blue’ city, undertook the hand painting of this cabinet. This size cabinet will more often than not have at least two if not three people working on it simultaneously. The paintings depicted on this piece are of historical hunting scenes with elephants and horses being ridden alongside a number of persons. Above all, filled with character and charm this piece is brightly coloured throughout, while additional hand written script has been applied.

Visual Description

On each door can be found three hand painted panels each reflective of a ‘hunting’ scene. There can be seen animals and people collectively, while on either side of the piece, further figures in their finery have been added. To the top of the piece a floral pattern and design has been painted, while the whole cabinet is adorned in floral motifs. Each door has fitted on it a slim metal handle, while inside you will find two shelves.
