Antique Indian Doors

Antique Indian doors and arches carved from old teak and jackfruit wood, sourced from Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Punjab — each piece a timeless fragment of architectural heritage.

Indian Doors form the heart of Indigo’s architectural collection — hand-carved, painted, and iron-bound entrances salvaged from temples, havelis, and courtyard homes across northern India. These monumental panels embody centuries of craftsmanship, from the heavy teak temple doors of Patan to the intricately carved rosewood arches of Punjab.

Rajasthan & Bikaner Painted Doors

From the desert city of Bikaner and the painted havelis of Rajasthan come vividly coloured doors and window shutters, layered with ochre, crimson, and vermillion pigments. Their surfaces bear the traces of time — the faded florals, lattice panels, and devotional motifs once used to adorn traditional Rajasthani homes. These pieces, restored with care, add warmth and heritage to both interior and exterior design projects.

Carved Doors from Gujarat & Punjab

From Gujarat and Punjab come some of India’s finest examples of wood carving. Deeply sculpted door frames, lintels, and arches display geometric, floral, and mythological patterns once reserved for temples and noble residences. These grand architectural pieces, often paired with carved stone plinths or corbels, lend themselves to restoration projects, entryways, or statement wall installations.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Crafted from dense old teak, jackfruit, and rosewood, and often reinforced with ironwork, these doors were built to endure generations of monsoon and heat. Their hand-joined panels and carved borders show the skill of regional artisans whose techniques date back centuries. Many retain original paint and patina, revealing layers of use and quiet devotion that make each door a one-of-a-kind historical document.

Design & Restoration

Architects and designers increasingly integrate these reclaimed Indian doors into both traditional and contemporary spaces — as functional entrances, decorative partitions, or statement wall art. Each piece in our collection is authentic, dated, and restored by artisans in India, ready for new life in modern settings.
