19th-Century Indian Mashrabiya Door with Frame – Circa 1850s
Antique Teak Wood Islamic Latticework Panel | Hand-Carved Mughal-Inspired Architectural Masterpiece
Bring poetic geometry and timeless craftsmanship into your space with this rare 19th-century Indian Mashrabiya Door, hand-carved from solid teakwood and framed in its original architectural setting. Sourced from Northern India and dating to the 1850s, this masterpiece of Islamic-influenced design features highly detailed latticework, reflecting both aesthetic richness and practical brilliance.
A Marriage of Architecture, Art & Symbolism
Once used in noble homes and spiritual spaces, Mashrabiya screens provided light, ventilation, and privacy—a thoughtful design evolved for India’s warm climate and intricate cultural life. This panel's complex interlace of floral and geometric carvings, each hand-chiselled with discipline and devotion, exemplifies the Mughal and Indo-Islamic architectural legacy.
Crafted from solid teak, the piece boasts enduring strength and a soft golden-brown patina. The original frame enhances its visual presence and structural function, making it suitable for contemporary adaptations as both an architectural and artistic statement.
