Limed Teak Kutchi Door And Frame - 19th Century

This impressive 19th-century teak door and frame originates from the Kutch region of Gujarat, India, an area renowned for its richly carved architectural elements and skilled woodworking traditions. Handcrafted from solid teak, the doorway features an elaborately carved floral and foliate frieze, deeply moulded frame, and traditional studded double doors, all highlighted by a softly weathered lime-washed finish that accentuates the intricate carving and natural grain of the timber.

A particularly charming feature is the integrated wicket door set within one of the main door panels. Traditionally used for receiving visitors, passing parcels, or allowing conversation without opening the full entrance, this practical architectural detail reflects the ingenuity of traditional Kutchi craftsmanship. The reverse reveals original ironwork, locking mechanisms, and construction techniques, adding further authenticity and historical character. Supplied deconstructed for ease of transportation, the door can be reassembled with guidance provided if required.
