19th century Indian Door from Gujarat - A5889
Iron bound doors from Gujarat are often beautifully painted with natural mineral colours. The red comes from cinnabar and there is also light sea green pastel colouring made from a mix of ultramarine & ochre. Made from solid teak wood with intricate carving on the door frame and carved elephant corbels on the top corners of the door frame (see far left image.)
This door is unusual in that it is tall enough to be used in a western interior. It can be built into a home to become the envy of any guest and even has the original wrought iron lock hasp and staple. It also has original brass ring pull handles The door frame also comes apart for delivery.
