An Indian Haveli Partition with Low Set Windows and A Large Door
About the Item
This exquisite Indo-Saracenic building facade, dating to the late 1800s, features a grand entrance gate flanked by two intricately carved columns. The monumental Indian doors are reinforced with thick metal banding for added strength, while the door posts and lintel boast intricate floral carvings. The upper lintel showcases marigold motifs symbolizing good luck and love, while the lower lintel features a central "Kalash," or "pot of prosperity," representing abundance, framed within the outline of a Hindu temple. Carved elephants at the frame's corners symbolize strength and power, and the doorposts are almost plain. The entrance is flanked by grand palm tree-shaped columns with elaborate carvings, symbolizing peace. Wooden partitions with four windows on each side of the door are decorated with a blend of Indian Marathi and British colonial designs. The upper frame of each segment is adorned with acanthus leaves and protruding horses, symbolizing nobility. Below each horse is a Doric-inspired column on a sandstone base. The windows feature Marathi brackets formed from mango leaves making Chhatri domes, each adorned with marigold flowers, with British-inspired raised panels at the base. On the far right, a Mughal-inspired column showcases motifs of betel nut, pomegranate flowers, and parrots, while the far left features a small entrance gate combining British colonial and indigenous designs. This facade is a magnificent example of 19th-century Indian craftsmanship, with its powerful construction and rich symbolism.

Carved Teak Indian Temple Column
Located in Chicago, IL
This monumental Indian column once supported part of the entrance or courtyard cloister in a grand mansion. Originally part of a series, this individual column is all that remains. The piece comes in multiple stacked segments, distributing the weight of the original structure from its floral motif capital through its stone plinth. Only one is available. Origin: Rajasthan, India, 19th century.
During the colonial period, Indian traders amassed huge fortunes and some of that wealth found its way into mansions and palaces. A hundred or more years later, many (if not most) of these structures are obsolete or the fortunes of their owners have dwindled. Many are in urban areas in which land is very valuable now and aggressively sought for multi-storey buildings. Old single-storey mansions are often disassembled piece-by piece and the parts sold on the international market. India is one of very few countries that have the labor supply to decommission old structures in this meticulous way.
The column could be used in an architectural, load-bearing way or as a free-standing decoration...
