Indian Mirror Made From Teak Gujarati Window - 19th Century

This striking 19th century teak mihrab window mirror from Madhya Pradesh is a beautifully repurposed architectural fragment, rich in character and history. Originally part of a traditional window or shutter, the frame features an elegant Mughal-style arched opening, reminiscent of mihrab niches found in Islamic architecture, lending the piece a refined and timeless presence.

Deeply carved floral and foliate motifs frame the arch, with traces of original pitch still visible within the recesses—adding depth, contrast, and authenticity to the surface. The naturally aged teak has developed a warm, timeworn patina, enhancing the sculptural quality of the carving and making each detail stand out. With its tall proportions and architectural form, this mirror makes a dramatic statement piece in both classic and contemporary interiors.
