Multi-coloured Anglo-Indian Traditional Style Drawer Writing Desk

This antique wooden writing desk with a hutch is likely of Indian origin, reflecting the Colonial and Indo-European design influence prevalent in late 19th to early 20th-century furniture. This piece represents a fusion of British Colonial and Indian craftsmanship, blending durability, artistry, and functionality in a timeless design. The distressed green, cream, and lavender paint, along with hand-carved drawer details and turned legs, are characteristic of traditional Indian craftsmanship, often found in regions like Rajasthan, where artisans repurposed reclaimed wood and integrated European-inspired aesthetics. The sliding glass doors with a mirrored back suggest a fusion of British Colonial and indigenous Indian artistry, making it a rare and charming statement piece that embodies India’s rich heritage in furniture-making.
