Description
The grand Chettiar mansions of Athangudi, near Karaikudi in Tamil Nadu, are known for their handmade cement tiles — vivid, geometric, laid out floor to floor in patterns that turned entire homes into showcases of colour. EthniiChic's Athangudi Wooden Name Board translates that tile-making tradition into a layered wooden frame.
The design is built in two overlapping bands of colour-blocked Athangudi tile motifs in warm oranges, reds and cream, framing a central plaque that carries your household name in raised lettering. Share your exact wording with us at the time of ordering and our team fits it in place.
Its graphic, non-deity design suits homes wanting a distinctly Tamil, heritage-rooted entrance piece — a fitting housewarming gift, particularly for Chettinad or South Indian households.
Material: Wood
Dimensions: 46 cm x 20.5 cm x 3.5 cm
