This ornately carved teak mirror is repurposed from a 19th-century Indian door from Gujarat. Once part of a grand architectural doorway, the frame has been sensitively adapted and fitted with modern mirror glass while preserving its historic character.

The weathered blue and brown paintwork reveals generations of layered colour and wear, creating a beautifully aged surface. The lower panel is intricately carved with scrolling foliate motifs surrounding a moustached face, an auspicious symbol sometimes used in Rajasthani & Gujarati architecture to protect the home. Crafted from reclaimed architectural teak, this mirror is not only rich in history but also an environmentally responsible choice.
