Historical Significance:
Originally used as window shutters (Lakdi Ki Khidki in Hindi) for ventilation and natural light control in Indian buildings, these pieces were essential for maintaining comfortable indoor climates during intense heat. The weathered paint layers reveal decades of history and authentic patina that cannot be replicated.
Each piece was personally sourced by a member of Jardinopia in Rajasthan, India, salvaged from buildings that were beyond repair, giving these architectural treasures new life for future generations to enjoy.
