{"product_id":"carved-19th-century-teak-door","title":"Painted \u0026 Carved Door From The Punjab - 19th Century","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis magnificent \u003cstrong\u003eearly 19th-century carved teak door\u003c\/strong\u003e originates from a \u003cstrong\u003ePunjabi haveli\u003c\/strong\u003e (traditional townhouse). Hand-carved from solid teak, it represents the highest level of regional craftsmanship, with \u003cstrong\u003eexceptionally deep relief work\u003c\/strong\u003e across its frame and panels. The central lintel features a beautifully rendered \u003cstrong\u003eGanesha\u003c\/strong\u003e—the remover of obstacles and guardian of thresholds—flanked by six \u003cstrong\u003ekalaśa\u003c\/strong\u003e (sacred vessels) from which scrolling foliage and blossoms emerge, symbolising \u003cstrong\u003efertility, abundance, and divine prosperity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove Ganesha runs a band of lotus and palmette carving, evoking purity and cosmic order, while the surrounding panels display \u003cstrong\u003edense foliate arabesques and rosette motifs\u003c\/strong\u003e in high relief. The doors themselves are arranged in a robust grid of \u003cstrong\u003esquare panels with original iron bosses\u003c\/strong\u003e, traces of their \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal blue and red pigment\u003c\/strong\u003e still visible across the surface. Together, these elements form a visual invocation of auspiciousness—\u003cem\u003eśubha-lābha\u003c\/em\u003e—that would once have sanctified the entrance of a prosperous household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door’s impressive scale and weight attest to its architectural origin, designed as a fully functional entrance. It remains structurally sound and can be \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt into a property\u003c\/strong\u003e (with guidance provided). \u003cstrong\u003eThe lower beam can be removed\u003c\/strong\u003e if required, and the entire assembly can be \u003cstrong\u003eflat-packed for transport\u003c\/strong\u003e. Hinges may be adapted or replaced to suit modern installation.
