Antique Cobalt Blue Jali Window Mirror with Hinged Mughal Arch Doors

Open the Doors. Find a Mirror.

From the front, this is a deeply carved cobalt blue jali window panel — two hinged Mughal arch doors covered in an intricate open geometric star and cross fretwork, the kind of carving that casts shadow patterns on the wall around it. Open the doors, and there is a mirror inside, framed by the same Mughal arch and surrounded by the carved vine border frame.

The distressed cobalt blue finish is aged and layered, with warm wood grain visible wherever the paint has worn through. Iron hook latches hold the doors closed. Hang it with the doors closed as a jali wall panel, or keep them open to use it as a functional mirror with an extraordinary frame.
