The red and green tones are classic colours used in Bikaner, a town in Northern Rajasthan. This cabinet is painted on the front, sides and back with traditional Rajasthani symbols and depicts four of the main Hindu gods in the front panels; Parvati, Ganesh, Hanuman, Krishna (clockwise). The floral painting on the sides and back is a classic Mughal design. It is unusual for \"god boxes\" to be painted on the back which suggests that this beautiful piece of artwork was used in the centre of a room. It is beautifully preserved and no doubt it was owned by a wealthy family or possibly one of the \" royal circle\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnusually for Indian furniture, Bikaner cabinets like this one are often made from cedar wood which grows further north in areas bordering the Himalayas. This shows the extent of trade in the area and high value placed by Indians on their furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bikaner in Rajasthan is famous for its fine painting of both buildings and furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur pieces are mostly from the 19th century \u0026amp; occasionally 18th and early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e54 x 43 x 87 (wxdxh cms)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e UK Delivery Charge - except Highlands \u0026amp; Islands £40\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore delivery options available on checkout\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53551474835765,"sku":"A00972","price":1888.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/A00972.jpg?v=1789233576","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/painted-indian-cabinet-from-bikaner-19thc","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
