Painted Door Mirror From Andhra Pradesh - 19th Century

This exceptional carved teak mirror originates from an original 19th-century Indian door from Andhra Pradesh, a region renowned for its intricate woodcraft traditions. The frame features exquisitely detailed carvings of peacocks and deep floral motifs, each highlighted with layers of vibrant pastel tones that enhance the relief and bring the design to life. As one of the most beautifully carved Andhra Pradesh mirrors we have encountered in recent years - and one of a rare matching pair - it offers both historical authenticity and exceptional decorative appeal.

Adapted from its original use as a door frame, the piece has been sympathetically restored and fitted with modern mirror glass, ensuring it is ready for contemporary interiors without losing its antique character. Sourced as part of a sustainable reclamation process, each mirror frame tells a story while contributing to environmentally conscious design. Intended to be hung in portrait orientation, this mirror is a striking fusion of Indian heritage craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
