| Indian Chakki Table |
You know one of those elusive items that you see when you have overspent for the month and then spend years daydreaming about and kicking yourself for not getting? That is how I feel about the beautiful Indian Chakki Table that I saw in Glastonbury's Dilway and Dilway 4 or 5 years ago. Since then I have been searching and searching but have never found one in the UK that hasn't 'just been sold', too big for my sitting room or topped with a cushion and transformed into an ottoman.
Originally used as a base and stand for household stone mills they make great coffee tables, especially if you are clumsy like me and have habit of knocking over red wine and coffee as the raised edge can help prevent it running over the sides and ruining your carpet or favorite rug.
One day I will have one...

interesting table, i've started to really love your blog! I love boho designs.
We brought loads of these back from Joghpur, India. And they truly are amazing. And to think they would use them for "just grinding grain at home". That's why India is still so delicious.
i have never seen one of these before. they are absolutely stunning!! i need one.
