Catalogue of Vernacular Furniture: Gujarat
From a humble machi (low stool) to a robust pataara (chest), a wide array of vernacular furniture and objects have adorned the traditional houses of Gujarat for centuries. The furniture and objects in this catalogue, whether highly ornate or purely functional, play an important role in the lifestyles and material culture of Gujarat’s population. Vernacular Furniture of Gujarat: Catalogue features over 400 pieces of vernacular furniture and objects from Gujarat. These pieces have been shortlisted from nearly 1200 examples of furniture and objects recorded across the state. The catalogue is an outcome of extensive fieldwork, research and documentation carried out for the international collaborative research project titled Vernacular Furniture of North-West India.
