Discover a truly unique statement piece for your home or garden with this rare, original antique Indian Jali door pair, hand-sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team in Rajasthan, India. Crafted from solid teak wood and adorned with intricate iron latticework, these doors date back to the 19th century and were salvaged from a historic building in Gujarat. The faded blue, cream, and patinaed ironwork tell the story of generations past, while the original heavy-duty iron locks and bolts remain intact.
Standing at 100 cm (39.4 inches) high, 70 cm (27.6 inches) wide, and 4 cm (1.6 inches) deep, these doors are unusually tall for their kind, featuring a fine arched finish and beautiful sunburst carvings on the lower panels. Traditionally used as a first line of defence in Indian homes, the Jali (meaning “see-through”) lattice allows for air circulation while maintaining security. Today, they make a stunning feature wall, room divider, garden gate, or even a dramatic entrance to a walled garden or patio.
Each piece is unique, with historic repairs, age-related marks, and original paintwork that add authentic character. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use in the UK climate—just apply linseed oil annually and a clear lacquer to preserve the colour. Perfect for period properties, modern interiors, or as a prop for film and theatre.
