Painted Teak Window Mirror From Madhya Pradesh - 19th Century
Once a window frame gracing a wealthy haveli in Madhya Pradesh, this striking piece has been thoughtfully repurposed into a mirror, preserving the grandeur of its origins. Hand-carved from solid teak wood, the frame retains its aged patina and layered remnants of original paint, creating a rich, textured surface that tells the story of time. The arched shape, known as a mihrab is a classic element of Mughal design, often seen in Islamic architecture, and lends the mirror a sense of serene elegance.
Whether hung in a hallway, above a console, or as a statement piece in a living space, this mirror celebrates both artistry and history. Each detail - from the weathered finish to the delicately carved arch - reflects the craftsmanship of northern India's architectural legacy. This piece is supplied with sturdy wall hangers.
