{"product_id":"antique-finely-carved-swat-valley-chest-cabinet","title":"Antique Finely Carved Swat Valley Chest Cabinet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA masterpiece of tribal artistry, this chest hails from the Swat Valley region of Northern Pakistan. Crafted from dense, aromatic Himalayan Cedar, it features the region's signature deep-relief carving, blending floral motifs with ancient geometric symbols believed to offer protection. The chest is crowned with four distinctive architectural finials and a carved gallery rail. Interestingly, the \"rounded hole\" found on the top center offers a clue to its utilitarian past: this was likely a grain storage chest, where wheat or rice was poured into the top aperture. We recommend adding a glass top to make it the top fully usable.\u003cbr\u003eThis antique carved chest is destined to become a show-stopping bathroom vanity. It offers ample space for a vessel sink or drop-in basin. The existing hole in the top can often be widened or utilized for drain piping, making the conversion easier. Beyond the bath, its high gallery back makes it a dramatic bar cabinet for a living room or a clothing chest in a bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Era: Antique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Size: 47\"(L) x 24\"(D) x 45\"(H) to top of finial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Material: Solid Himalayan Cedar (Deodar) \/ Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Color: Rich Dark Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Style: Tribal, Islamic Geometric, Rustic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Origin: Pakistan (Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) · Found in the Swat Valley, Northern Pakistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Condition: Antique with historic wear; original grain aperture on top.
