The Tribal Collection
From a wild and beautiful land, furniture created using skills passed down through generations
The Tribal Collection
The master-craftsmen of the tribal regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan have created some of the finest furniture in the Islamic world. From the Himalayan regions of Kohistan, through the Swat Valley to the plains of Punjab, these skilled artisans have created wonderfully crafted pieces.
The skills to create these timeless pieces has been passed down from father to son for decades. Exquisitely carved in cypress wood or painted in rich colours, this furniture served utilitarian purposes - deep chests to hold grain for instance.
Sadly, as new generations move to the cities, the artisans are slowly disappearing from the region and this furniture becoming rarer.
Tribal Gallery curates this furniture with a deep appreciation of its heritage and its esthetic beauty. Time transforms these pieces, through the aging of the wood, the deepening of the colouring and the fading of the painting.
The passage of time leaves each one unique; celebrated and enjoyed in our customers homes across the world - from Kenyan beach houses to restored Italian farmhouses to New York lofts.
