Painted Indian Door From Gujarat - Late 19th Century Material - Ivory often the most enduring elementsThis lovely painted Indian door has been salvaged from an old building in Gujarat. The classic mihrab carved arches is indicative of the Mughal style. It has been painted with various layers of greens and cream paint in its lifetime, much of which has flaked away leaving a 'distressed' look. This piece is supplied with sturdy wall hangers.
