Antique Indian Carved Teak Chakki Grinder Coffee Table with Iron Detailing
Description
An antique Indian carved teak chakki grinder coffee table, presented as a substantial, circular, shallow wooden vessel. It is supported by four protruding integral base segments that function as feet. The exterior circumference and these support segments are extensively carved with traditional geometric patterns, including zigzags, crosshatching, and linear motifs. The interior base is constructed from multiple planks, reinforced or repaired with several rustic, rectangular metal plates secured by pins or nails. This piece is characteristic of late 19th or early 20th-century Indian craftsmanship, often repurposed from traditional grain grinders.
