Tara is a beautifully understated antique Indian teak storage box, individually sourced by Home Barn for its warm aged timber, elegant proportions and original metalwork.
Raised on four short legs, Tara has an elegant, almost furniture-like quality. The beautifully timeworn wood has developed a rich, warm patina, complemented by aged metal corner brackets and a delicate decorative locking hasp. The restrained design gives this antique piece a quiet simplicity that sits particularly well within contemporary interiors.
Dimensions: Height 26cm Width 51cm Depth 29cm
At 51cm wide, Tara is substantial enough to make an impact while remaining wonderfully versatile. Style her on a large console or sideboard, use as a decorative storage box, or simply allow the aged timber and original details to become part of a thoughtfully collected interior.
We particularly love antiques such as Tara alongside plaster walls, linen, stone and contemporary furniture. The contrast between old and new introduces a layer of history and individuality that cannot be replicated by something newly made.

Antique Character
Tara is a genuine antique and her individual markings are an intrinsic part of her beauty. Expect variations in colour and grain alongside historic knocks, scratches, splits, worn areas, old repairs and naturally aged metalwork.
Rather than detracting from the piece, these characteristics tell the story of an object that has already lived a life – authentic patina rather than a manufactured finish.
Please note: Tara is completely unique. The antique Indian box photographed is the exact piece you will receive.
