Wall Art

Discover antique wall art and architectural panels from India, China, and Japan — doors, jharokhas, stone carvings, and painted shutters rich in texture and patina.

From carved architectural panels and stone reliefs to framed paintings, prints and textiles, our wall art collection turns craftsmanship into architecture — statement pieces that add history, texture and calm to modern rooms.

Each work carries its own surface language: time-softened paint on old shutters and doors, chiselled sandstone jali patterns, luminous pigments on paper, and the silk sheen of embroidered textiles. Curated across India, China and Japan, these pieces introduce depth and narrative while remaining beautifully versatile on contemporary walls.

Cultural Origins & Symbolism

Much of this wall art descends from sacred and domestic traditions of India and Asia — crafted to filter light, frame views, or invite contemplation. In Rajasthan, jali stone screens balanced privacy with breeze and shadow; in Gujarat, carved doors protected both home and temple. Painted pichwais from Nathdwara once adorned shrines of Krishna, depicting scenes of devotion in intricate pigment layers. Across Asia, motifs of lotus, peacock, dragon and cloud carry blessings of prosperity and longevity, translating spiritual ideals into visual rhythm and balance.

Each piece at Indigo Antiques has been carefully restored and conserved with sensitivity to its age — ensuring structural integrity while preserving the original pigments, carvings, and surfaces that embody centuries of craftsmanship.

Architectural Panels & Doors

Carved teak doors, painted shutters and jharokha window frames bring sculptural presence to an interior. Hung as art, they become architectural focal points — balancing minimalist spaces with history and scale. Explore richly patinated pieces alongside Indian doors and complementary elements within Indian wall art.

Paintings, Prints & Reverse Glass

Framed works add rhythm and colour: Chinese export-era pith paintings and reverse glass portraits sit elegantly beside Japanese prints. Build a salon wall with layered sizes and neutral mounts, or hang singly for a calm focal point. For deeper dives, see Chinese wall art and our dedicated Japanese woodblock prints.

Screens, Textiles & Reliefs

Japanese folding screens introduce breadth and serenity — ideal above consoles or low sideboards. Embroidered textiles and stone reliefs add tactile contrast to plaster and limewash, casting gentle shadows throughout the day. Browse refined Japanese Byōbu screens and carved surfaces within decorative Indian stone.

Styling & Hanging

Start with one anchor — a painted door, stone panel or screen — then layer framed works to one side for asymmetry. Mix materials (wood, stone, paper, textile) to create depth; keep wall colour quiet so patina and line read clearly. Use French cleats or split battens for heavier architectural pieces and UV-filter glazing for works on paper. Complement these pieces with refined antique mirrors to expand light and spatial rhythm within a room.
