{"product_id":"antique-indian-pidha-wedding-chairs-pair","title":"Antique Indian Pidha Wedding Chairs - Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of a kind. A rare matched pair of antique Indian pidha chairs — the low, ceremonial seat of Rajasthan, hand-carved and brass-studded, and traditionally given as part of a bride's dowry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pidha is among the oldest furniture forms of northern India: a low chair, only inches off the ground, brought out for everyday floor-level seating and for ceremonies like Haldi and Mehndi. The denser the carving and the more brass it carried, the more important the occasion — and a finely studded pair like this was the kind of piece that traveled with a bride into her new home. Pairs that have stayed together are uncommon; single pidhas far outnumber them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chair is hand-carved hardwood, studded with brass (pital) rosettes, with a hand-woven rope back and seat and a turned spindle gallery beneath. The hand-embroidered cushions are included. Genuine age, patina, and small irregularities throughout — the marks of a piece that has actually been lived with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: 24\"W × 17\"D × 28\"H each. Sold as a pair. Ships from our Houston warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outpost Original","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52300379914523,"sku":"ANTQ-0001","price":3219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5276\/9563\/files\/ANTQ-0001_00001.jpg?v=1780681998","url":"https:\/\/outpostoriginal.com\/products\/antique-indian-pidha-wedding-chairs-pair","provider":"Outpost Original","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
