Standing at an impressive 102 inches high, with a substantial width of 66 inches and a remarkable thickness of 10 inches, this piece is a powerful and singular statement.

Expertly carved from solid teak, a prized and durable wood, this door showcases the skillful artistry of its creator. The door is adorned with a beautiful, ornate carved frame, with intricate floral and scrollwork motifs that are characteristic of traditional Indian architecture. The central panels are embellished with brass studs, which add a touch of sparkle and a nod to its historical purpose. The sun-bleached finish highlights the wood's natural grain and gives the piece a rich, authentic history that can only be acquired over time. The large, prominent brass or iron studs were not only decorative; they had a very important functional purpose, especially on doors and gates for forts, palaces, and larger homes in India. The studs were strategically placed to deter war elephants from charging the doors.
