Antique Indian Teak Wood and Iron Jali Doors (165cm x 106cm) | c.1880-1900

This stunning pair of antique Indian teak wood and iron Jali doors originates from the late 19th century (c.1880-1900). Salvaged from a historic building in Gujarat State, India, these doors are rich in heritage and character. They feature original heavy-duty iron locks and bolts, intricate latticework (Jali design), and remnants of vibrant old paint, all complemented by a fabulous patina built up over centuries.

Historically, these doors served as a first line of defence in prominent homes, often positioned at the end of paths or drives or mounted in front of solid doors to allow air circulation without compromising security. Locally referred to as Lakdi Aur Lohe Ka Darwaza (wood and iron door) or Guthi Jali door (see-through lattice design), they are a testament to traditional Indian architecture.

Their versatile design makes them ideal for:

• Feature wall décor in rustic or modern interiors.

• Grand entrances to walled gardens, patios, or terraces.

• Unique shutters or partitions.

• Props for film sets recreating historical India.

Each door has been personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team in Rajasthan, India, ensuring authenticity and heritage. While they show signs of age-related wear and historic repairs, these characteristics enhance their charm and vintage appeal. For outdoor use, we recommend applying a clear protective lacquer to preserve their colours for years to come.

Dimensions (for both doors together):
Height: 165 cm (64.9 inches) | Width: 106 cm (41.7 inches) | Depth: 6 cm (2.4 inches)
