{"product_id":"traditional-uke-carved-wood-african-door","title":"Traditional Uke Carved Wood, African Door","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 40.5-inch door (45.5 inches including its forked pivot tab) is a single-slab Igbo piece, hand-hewn from one solid plank with a notched, forked top corner and a small carved foot at the base rather than separate metal hardware. The face is dominated by a bold X built from multiple parallel ridged diagonal lines converging into sharp chevron points, a graphic, deep-relief pattern that fills nearly the full carved field, framed above by a plain horizontal band separating it from the top edge. The surface carries a lighter, weathered gray-tan patina, sun-oxidized rather than smoke-darkened, with visible age checking along the grain. At 19 inches wide, this is a narrower, more compact door than others in this batch, well suited to a smaller wall run, a powder room, or paired with another narrow single-slab piece where its bold, graphic carving can read clearly at close range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Origin: Igbo tradition, Nigeria\u003cbr\u003e*Era: Early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e*Material: Hand-carved solid hardwood, single hand-hewn slab\u003cbr\u003e*Finish: Weathered gray-tan, sun-oxidized patina\u003cbr\u003e*Dimensions: 19\"W x 1.5\"D x 45.5\"H overall (door panel itself 40.5\"H, excluding pivot tab)\u003cbr\u003e*Condition: Genuine antique wear, visible age checking, structurally stable, original single-slab construction and pivot tab intact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn antique single-slab Igbo door from Nigeria, carved with a bold ridged chevron X pattern, forked pivot tab, weathered gray-tan sun-oxidized patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does a smaller single-slab door like this hold real collector value compared to a larger multi-plank piece?\u003cbr\u003eA: Scale isn't the only driver, carving quality and graphic strength matter just as much. This door is narrower than some of the larger multi-plank pieces in the collection, but the ridged chevron carving fills the entire surface in deep, bold relief, which represents real hand-carving time and holds up visually even at a smaller size. For collectors building out a wall grouping rather than a single statement piece, a well-carved smaller door like this one is often a more practical and still meaningfully valuable choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Requires White Glove Delivery)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e • **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50549069840621,"sku":"IMG_6459","price":2725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/6459.jpg?v=1787857702","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/traditional-uke-carved-wood-african-door","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
