Painted Lotus Door & Frame

This beautifully decorated Indian door and frame combines the character of an older timber surround with vibrant newer hand-painted artwork. The solid wooden frame shows age and gentle wear, providing an authentic architectural foundation for the richly painted lotus design that now adorns the surface.

The door panels are covered in flowing pink lotus blossoms intertwined with trailing vines and green leaves, set against a soft turquoise-blue ground. The lotus, long associated with purity, renewal and spiritual awakening in Indian art and symbolism, creates a rhythmic, almost textile-like pattern across the surface. Fine hand-painted detailing in yellow and deep green outlines each petal and leaf, bringing depth and movement to the composition.

The contrast between the aged wood and the fresh, lively painting gives this piece a layered aesthetic — blending tradition with contemporary decorative craft. Ideal as a statement wall feature, headboard backdrop or incorporated into bespoke joinery, it brings colour, symbolism and artisanal character into an interior.
