Mongolian Side Cabinet - Early 19th Century Seating This long 5 drawer console

This long 5 drawer console table is made from reclaimed wood which is salvaged from old buildings in Rajasthan and Gujarat

It's been well used but also cared for so it does show modest signs of wear as well as slight fading at one end most likely due to prolonged sunlight exposure

The pole hangers (saodoshi) are concealed and not covered by a metal plate showing this as an earlier piece

from the expressive face and arched neck to the painted saddle and harness motifs highlighted in muted reds

Carrying handles allowed these chests to be stored in outhouses when not in use
