Antique Jasailmer Stone Jali Window Carving On Iron Stand With Tealight Candle Holders

Fine and rare antique Indian Jali stone window carving from Jasailmer in northern Rajasthan. We have created a strong iron stand with two integral tealight holders to show off this wonderful piece, that has been entirely carved by hand over a century ago by skilled craftsmen in Jasailmer. Jali’s were placed on external walls of the finest havelli’s to allow air to circulate in hot temperatures. These are typically found in the desert regions of Rajasthan where temperatures can exceed 50 degrees. So many of these havellis have now been torn down or abandoned & we have rescue these fine works of aet in their own right for future generations. As with all old stone items, cut and carved by hand many many years ago, with a beautiful colour and patina which really shows its age and history, and there are some historic age related marks and wear and tear as you would expect for stone carvings of this age. Please be sure to check all photos as these form part of the description. . Approx 28 x 5 x 40cm
