Antique Late-19th-Century Rajasthani Teak Mirror Frame

Hand-Carved Arch with Floral and Jali Motifs | Solid Teakwood | Rajasthan, India

An Heirloom from Rajasthan’s Royal Heartland

Transform your space with this extraordinary late-19th-century hand-carved teak mirror frame from Rajasthan. Originally part of a palace or haveli alcove, this architectural relic embodies the grandeur of India’s jharokha design tradition. Each curve and chisel mark speaks of the artisan’s devotion to precision, patience, and symmetry.

Now adapted as a mirror frame, it brings sculptural depth and cultural narrative into contemporary interiors while preserving its authentic patina and age-old craftsmanship.

Why This Piece Stands Out

• Master-Level Carving: Intricately detailed with floral vines, lotus motifs, and lattice-inspired jali work that reflect the fusion of Rajput and Mughal influences.

• Architectural Silhouette: The cusped inner arch captures the timeless form of Rajasthan’s palace and temple windows.

• Museum-Quality Teak: Crafted from dense, old-growth teak that has matured into a rich, dark umber patina with visible tool marks and natural ageing.

• Statement Scale: Imposing in size and presence, perfect for grand entryways, boutique interiors, or as a dramatic headboard frame.

Styling Ideas

• Install vertically as a full-length mirror to add architectural height and elegance.

• Mount horizontally above a console for regal symmetry in hallways or reception spaces.

• Use as a decorative faux window or backdrop for a heritage-inspired interior or retail setting.

• Pair with plastered walls, brass fixtures, or natural stone for an Indo-European fusion aesthetic.

Cultural and Historical Context

In the royal courts and temples of Rajasthan, jharokhas symbolised prestige and divine presence. Carved from teak and adorned with floral and geometric motifs, these architectural frames represented both craftsmanship and devotion. This frame continues that legacy, allowing its storied craftsmanship to become a living part of modern interiors.
