Rare Blue Polychrome Carved Indian Lintel

$825.00
| /

Uncover a piece of history with this authentic architectural carving, salvaged from the structures of 19th-century India. Originally serving as a lintel, door header, or decorative frieze in a traditional Haveli, this piece features intricate hand-carved relief work that reflects a rich tapestry of cultural influences—from geometric Moorish patterns to organic Mughal florals and French Colonial scrolls. Crafted from solid teak with a weathered, sun-bleached patina, this fragment embodies the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The deep relief carving creates beautiful shadow play, making it a striking sculptural element for modern interiors.

Hang this antique carving vertically or horizontally as a standalone sculptural piece or install as a header above a doorway or window.
