Punjab Antique Reproduction Furniture Bench

Punjab Antique Reproduction Furniture Bench Description: Punjab is the cradle of one of the oldest civilizations on our planet – the Indus Valley Civilization, which reigned here more than 4000 years ago. Situated close to the entryway of South Asia, this region historically became a cultural crossroads. The armies of Darius, king of Persia, swept across the Punjab to make the area a protectorate of the Persian Empire. To the Buddhists, Punjab was seen as the way to the North – to the valleys of Afghanistan and onwards to China. Today, Punjab is a region with a remarkable cultural heritage and a centuries-old artisan tradition. Artisans in rural parts of Punjab carry on the ancient tradition of wood-carving. Artisan villages across the region each claim their own distinct creative style and continue to produce world-class wooden masterpieces. Our Punjab Antique Reproduction Furniture Bench is a graceful display of authentic rural Punjabi craftsmanship.
