About

Naga Carved Wooden Low Bed 1920s

This beautifully crafted low bed came from the state of Nagaland, India, and dates back to the 1920s. Made from durable saalwood, which is commonly used in the region, the bed was originally designed for the locals to rest and sleep on, keeping them dry from the moisture and safe from insects that might infest the soil beneath their tribal homes. The distinctive feature of Naga furniture is its construction from a single log of saalwood, with no nails or patchwork, making each piece entirely unique. The intricate carvings on this low bed showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the Naga people. A truly one-of-a-kind piece, this bed combines functionality with artistic beauty and makes a striking addition to any home, reflecting the rich heritage and culture of Nagaland.
