Antique 19th-Century Indian Jharokha Mirror

Hand-Carved Teak & Mango Wood | Mughal Window Frame | Rajasthan, India

Step into the grandeur of India’s architectural legacy with this 19th-century antique Jharokha mirror, meticulously hand-carved from teak and mango wood. Originally part of a noble haveli in Rajasthan, this striking piece reimagines the traditional Jharokha—once a vantage point for royal women or rulers—with a carefully inset antique-style mirror, offering both reflective elegance and sculptural heritage.

The floral and geometric relief carvings speak to the refined sensibilities of Mughal-influenced Rajasthani artisanship, with scalloped arches and columned detailing preserved in remarkable condition. Once a symbol of prestige and power, the Jharokha becomes here a versatile piece of wall art, mirror, and heritage portal, ideal for adding narrative texture to contemporary spaces.

✦ Architectural Elegance & Provenance

  • Finely hand-carved detailing with Mughal arches, floral vines, and ornate pillars

  • Historic Jharokha design, symbolising India’s royal and noble past

  • Repurposed as a mirror with antique-effect glass for interior use

  • Crafted from solid teak and mango wood, aged to a warm patina

  • Sculptural impact with strong architectural depth and grandeur

✦ Lighting & Atmosphere

When illuminated, the carved arches and inner frame create a dramatic play of shadow and light, enhancing its architectural depth. As shown in the photo, directional lighting transforms the Jharokha into a glowing portal, highlighting its scalloped arch and column details with striking contrast. This makes the piece not just a mirror but also a statement lighting feature, radiating warmth and storytelling into any interior.

✦ Why This Piece Stands Out

  • Rare 19th-century architectural salvage from Rajasthan’s havelis

  • Entirely handcrafted with traditional chiselling techniques

  • Symbolic of royal protocol and cultural heritage

  • Statement scale at nearly 2 metres in height

  • Versatile as both a functional mirror and architectural artwork

✦ Cultural & Historical Context

The word Jharokha means “window” or “glimpse” in Hindi. These projected balconies were hallmarks of Mughal and Rajput architecture, found in palaces and noble residences. They served as both ornamental façades and instruments of royal custom, allowing rulers to appear before the public in ceremonies or noblewomen to observe street life discreetly.

This salvaged example carries that history into the present, blending tradition with modern usability.

✦ Styling Tip

Install this mirror above a console or in an entryway with uplighting or spotlights to recreate its dramatic illuminated effect. Pair with antique brass accents or Persian textiles to enhance its layered character. In dim lighting, the Jharokha transforms into a sculptural focal point that radiates ambience.
