Discover a rare piece of Indian architectural history with this unusual and decorative pair of Antique Verdigris Green Indian Teak Dog Gates, salvaged from a 19th-century Haveli in Gujarat State. Dating back approximately 125 years, these gates were originally used to keep dogs in and other animals out at the main entrance of grand Gujarati homes.
The gates feature a striking verdigris green finish with hints of turquoise and teal, beautifully distressed over time. Original iron fittings and a rich, layered patina reveal their age and heritage, while the elegant arched top and vertical spindle detailing create a bold statement. Every mark, repair, and brushstroke of colour adds to the authenticity and charm of these unique gates.
