Antique Hand-Carved Teakwood & Brass Ceiling Panel – Circa 1900
Architectural Heritage from a Traditional North Indian Haveli

Step into a bygone era of Indian regal architecture with this striking antique ceiling panel, handcrafted circa 1900. Salvaged from a traditional North Indian haveli (mansion), this rare architectural element showcases the refined craftsmanship and cultural depth of early 20th-century interiors—where even ceilings were designed to inspire awe.

Expertly constructed from solid aged teakwood, the panel features a grid of geometric squares, each accented with original brass inlay and framed by intricate hand-carved detailing. A delicate beaded border encircles the entire piece, creating a perfect balance between structural rhythm and artisanal softness. Its time-worn patina and subtle irregularities speak to its age, lending authenticity and warmth to any setting.

Originally designed as a ceiling centrepiece, this panel has remarkable versatility in contemporary interiors—transforming effortlessly into a luxury wall hanging, a dramatic headboard, or a statement ceiling installation. Whether your aesthetic leans toward minimalism or maximalism, it introduces texture, history, and understated grandeur.
