Antique Late-19th-Century Rajasthani Teak Mirror Frame

Hand-Carved Arch With Floral & Jali Motifs | Solid Teakwood | Rajasthan, India

Transform any wall into a focal point with this magnificent hand-carved teak mirror frame—an original late-1800s artefact from Rajasthan’s royal heartland. Once the ornamental surround for a palace alcove, it has been lovingly conserved as a dramatic mirror frame, showcasing the region’s celebrated jharokha-style arch and precision floral carving.

Why This Piece Stands Out

• Master-Level Carving
  Dense old-growth teak is chiselled with geometric jali patterns, scrolling vines and lotuses—icons of Rajput and Mughal design. The cusped inner arch recreates the silhouette of Rajasthan’s temple and haveli windows.

• Museum-Quality Teak
  Naturally termite-resistant, the hardwood has aged to a rich umber patina, its fine grain visible beneath centuries-old tool marks.

• Architectural Scale
  At ≈ 122 cm W × 244 cm H × 10 cm D (weight ≈ 40 kg), the frame commands attention—ideal for grand entryways, boutique hotels, or statement headboards when fitted with a custom mirror.

• Versatile Installation
  Hang vertically as a full-length mirror, mount horizontally above a console, or recess into a wall as a faux jharokha window to add depth and historic character.

Styling Ideas

• Pair with raw-plaster walls and brass accents for a wabi-sabi luxe look.

• Flank with tall planters or sconces to echo palace veranda symmetry.

• Use as a dramatic backdrop in a retail or hospitality setting to add instant heritage gravitas.
