Antique Early 1900s Indian Teakwood Door with Frame

Hand-Carved Architectural Masterpiece | Solid Teak | 270 kg Statement Entryway

Step into the splendour of early 20th-century India with this remarkable antique teakwood door and frame — a rare architectural treasure that radiates heritage and craftsmanship. Meticulously hand-carved from solid teak, this monumental 270 kg structure embodies the grandeur, symmetry and sculptural artistry of India’s rich woodworking tradition.

Architectural Grandeur & Heritage Craftsmanship

Crafted during the early 1900s, this door reflects the skilled precision and devotion of Indian artisans who worked without machinery, guided solely by inherited mastery. The frame and door panels feature geometric floral carvings, each petal and motif chiselled to create harmony and rhythm across the façade. Its deep natural patina and subtle wear lend it an authenticity that only time can achieve.

Cultural & Historical Context

Teak doors such as this once adorned noble residences and heritage mansions across Gujarat and Rajasthan, symbolising strength and status. Teak’s natural durability, resistance to decay, and ability to withstand tropical climates made it the wood of choice for architectural masterpieces. The intricate carvings on this door mirror traditional Indian philosophy, where patterns were believed to invoke protection and prosperity.
