About
Ornately lacquered and lathe-turned wooden furniture finished in vivid red, gold and green, traditionally made as part of a Gujarati bride's wedding trousseau.
Did you know? A traditional Sankheda wedding swing or cot is assembled entirely without nails or screws — every joint is a precisely turned wooden fitting, finished afterward with the furniture's signature glossy lacquer coating.
