Antique Wooden Sarangi (54 cm) – Hand-Painted Indian String Instrument (Vintage)

A fascinating piece of South Asian musical and art history: at approx. 54 cm long, this antique wooden sarangi is an exceptional collector’s and decorative object. The traditional string instrument impresses with its artful hand-painting, showing a South Asian couple framed by beautiful floral ornaments and fine details.

Condition & details: The instrument has a beautiful, age-related patina and is in good, authentic overall condition for its age:

• Wood & painting: Slight age-related cracks, worn paint and signs of use give the piece its genuine vintage character.
• Tuning pegs: All pegs move as intended. The upper left peg shows signs of an earlier repair (see pictures).
• Bridge & strings: The bridge sits loosely (no fixed gluing visible). For optimal display or restoration, we recommend replacing or restringing the strings.

A rare handicraft highlight for lovers of oriental musical instruments, collectors of historical antiques, or as a striking eye-catcher in your home.
