Antique Verdigris Green Indian Painted Teak Wood Jali Door Garden Gate Pair – Gujarat, 19th Century

This rare and original antique Indian Jali door pair, salvaged from a historic building in Gujarat State, showcases a stunning verdigris green patina layered with hints of turquoise and weathered wood. Dating from the 19th century, these doors feature heavy-duty iron bars and original bolts, locks, and fittings, all testament to their role as the first line of defence in grand Indian homes.

The openwork ‘Jali’ design (meaning ‘see-through’ in Hindi) allowed for air circulation and security, making them ideal for use at the entrance to a home, at the end of a path, or as garden gates. Today, they are perfect for repurposing as dramatic garden gates, patio or terrace entrances, feature wall décor, or even as unique shutters or movie props.
