19th Century Rustic Indian Teak Window/Wall Art

This rustic handsome piece of Primitive Architectural Salvage is an authentic Indian window shutter, dating to the late 19th century. Sourced from a traditional haveli or rural home, this window was a crucial element of daily life, offering protection, privacy, and cooling shade. The construction is robust and rustic, featuring thick planks of weathered hardwood and original, hand-wrought iron hinges and latches. The layered surface boasts an exceptional multitone patina, with remnants of original paint (soft greens, rust, and brown) peeking through the deeply aged wood. A central, vertical carved plank (or battan) adds a final, textural detail. This shutter is history in its rawest, most tactile form. The warm, rustic texture and manageable size (24" W x 39" H) make this piece highly versatile for introducing an element of Farmhouse Chic, Wabi-Sabi, or Organic Modern into almost any space. Hang the shutter vertically to add instant texture and color depth above a small console  or bat
