Antique Indian Teak Wood and Iron Jali Dog Gates – 19th Century Originals

These antique Indian teak wood and iron jali dog gates are extraordinary examples of 19th-century craftsmanship, salvaged from historic Gujarati havelis in India. Dating back to approximately 1880–1900, they were originally used at haveli entrances to keep dogs in while keeping other animals out. Personally sourced by a member of Jardinopia in Rajasthan, India, these gates feature original iron fittings and a stunning patina developed over 150 years.

Now repurposed as entry garden gates, they add character to cottages, walled gardens, greenhouses, patios, or terraces. Their timeless design also makes them ideal for indoor décor or as props for films recreating historical India. Constructed from durable teak wood, these gates are suitable for outdoor use even in the UK climate. To preserve their colours when used outside, we recommend applying a clear protective lacquer.

While fully functional, these gates retain their original condition with age-related marks and historic repairs that enhance their authenticity and charm. Dimensions: 101 x 6 x 106 cm (39.8 x 2.4 x 41.7 inches).
