This impressive early 19th century carved teak double arch from Uttar Pradesh is a superb example of traditional Mughal-inspired architectural craftsmanship. Richly decorated with deeply carved floral motifs, scrolling foliage and geometric detailing, the piece demonstrates the extraordinary level of artistry achieved by North Indian woodcarvers during the period. The elegant twin arch form is supported by three finely carved columns featuring an intricate scale-like repeat pattern, creating a striking sense of rhythm and symmetry.

Originally forming part of a larger architectural interior, the arch retains traces of old pitch and surface wear that reflect its long and varied history. Remarkably well preserved for its age, only minor historic repairs are visible. Carved on both sides, the piece can be displayed indoors or outdoors and offers dramatic decorative impact whether used architecturally or as a sculptural statement installation. Supplied in twelve separate sections for ease of transport and assembly, with construction advice available if required.
