Antique Indian Painted Teak Wood Jali Door Garden Gate Pair – 19th Century Gujarat

Discover a rare piece of Indian architectural heritage with this original 19th-century Antique Indian Painted Teak Wood Jali Door Garden Gate Pair, personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team in Gujarat, India. These stunning doors, known locally as ‘Lakdi Aur Lohe Ka Darwaza’ (wood and iron doors), feature intricate jali (lattice) work, original iron fittings, and layers of beautiful old paint with a patina built up over centuries. Salvaged from a historic building, they were once used as a first line of defence in distinguished homes—positioned at the entrance, end of a path, or in front of a solid door to allow air flow while maintaining security, thanks to their robust iron locks and bolts.

Measuring 91cm (35.8 inches) wide, 3cm (1.2 inches) deep, and 165cm (65 inches) high, this pair is in excellent condition and ready to hang, making a striking statement as a garden gate, grand entrance, or feature wall in both period and contemporary settings. Many Jardinopia customers also repurpose these doors as dramatic shutters, patio dividers, or even as unique movie props. Suitable for outdoor use in the UK—just apply linseed oil annually and a clear lacquer to preserve the paint. As with all genuine antiques, expect some historic repairs, age-related marks, and wear, which only add to their authenticity and charm. Please review all photos as they form part of the description.
