Carved Parrot Teak Dog Gate From Gujarat - 19th Century

These old Indian dog gates are some of the best examples we've seen. Dating to the 19th century they're carved with decorative parrots and finished with a mint green paint patinated from years of use. 

Originally, dog gates were used in Gujarat in front of the main entrance door of Gujarati Havelis to keep animals out. They make very interesting & decorative garden gates & are suitable for outdoor use as well as unique pieces of wall art.
