These characterful carved teak window shutters feature the instantly recognisable Mughal arch, a form long associated with Indo-Islamic architecture and widely seen across Rajasthan. Handcrafted from solid teak, the gently curved arch framing adds elegance and architectural presence, transforming what was once a functional element into a striking decorative feature.

Over their long life, the shutters have been exposed to the intense Rajasthani climate. The hot desert air has naturally weathered the painted surface, creating a beautifully distressed patina with layers of soft turquoise and traces of earlier finishes emerging beneath. The aged iron straps and hand-forged fittings further enhance their authenticity and historic charm. The reverse reveals traditional construction with iron bracing and original hardware still intact.

Now supplied with sturdy hangers on the back, these shutters are ready to be displayed as wall art, a headboard feature, or incorporated into an interior scheme seeking architectural depth and texture.
