A deeply textured relic of Indian craftsmanship, this platform for an ox cart from the late 18th and early 19th centuries offers not only furniture, but also a story in solid wood. Formerly serving as the supporting base for a working ox cart, it presents itself as a sculptural, low structure - unpolished, elemental and very honest in material choice.
The hardwood frame - probably teak or salwood - is wrapped with hand-forged iron bands and adorned with original brass fittings, each softened by decades of use. The legs, gracefully curved and hand-carved, lift the piece just slightly off the ground, giving it a sense of grounded elegance.
With its raw look and organic erosion, this object fits beautifully into wabi-sabi interiors, Japandi-inspired spaces or tribal luxury compositions. It functions effortlessly as a coffee table, sculptural base or installation surface - ideal for design-oriented environments seeking understated impact.
