Hand carved hardwood fruit bowl or parat
Includes free shipping to UK mainland
For sale, a large antique, hand carved Indo Persian hardwood fruit bowl, also known as a parat.
This striking antique wooden bowl features a highly tactile polished hardwood finish that showcases its original patina, giving it a unique and authentic character. It would undoubtedly make a striking statement if used as a table centerpiece in any setting. While it is ideal for use as a charming carved fruit bowl, it is important to note that parats were originally used to prepare the dough for traditional Indian breads such as chapatis, rotis, naans, and parathas. To use one, simply add flour, water, and a pinch of salt, then knead until it forms a smooth ball and allow it to rest. This simple process represents the foundation of the traditional Indian menu.
Height: 6 cm
Diameter: 36 cm
Circa early 20th century.
