{"product_id":"antique-indian-painted-bikaner-roheda-door","title":"Painted Bikaner Roheda Door - 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis exceptional 19th-century painted door from Bikaner, Rajasthan, is crafted from dense roheda wood (\u003cem\u003etecomella undulata\u003c\/em\u003e), a timber indigenous to the Thar Desert and prized for its durability and fine carving qualities. Architectural doors of this type once formed the grand entrances to havelis and courtyard homes, combining strength with ornate artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe façade is dominated by a beautifully carved Mughal arch, richly detailed with scrolling floral motifs and stylised birds nestled within the curvature — a hallmark of Indo-Islamic decorative vocabulary. Layers of historic paint in deep red and turquoise have weathered over time, creating a remarkable patina that reveals successive generations of surface treatment. The interplay of colour, carving and age gives the piece extraordinary depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelain door knobs add a rare and charming detail, while the reverse shows traditional hand-forged iron strapwork and bracing. A striking architectural statement piece, this door works equally well as a decorative wall feature, headboard backdrop or incorporated into bespoke interior design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bikaner, Rajasthan, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roheda wood with original layered paint and iron hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved Mughal arch, floral and stylised bird motifs, layered historic paint surface, original porcelain door knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with age-related wear, surface weathering and paint loss consistent with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W77 x D5 x H180 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56993669251455,"sku":"A03942","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Antique_Indian_Painted_Bikaner_Roheda_Door_A03942.jpg?v=1780489148","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/antique-indian-painted-bikaner-roheda-door","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
