Description

Exquisite Teak Wood 'Jali' Doors with a Rich History - 19th Century Originals

Unearth the timeless charm of these enchanting teak wood 'Jali' doors, carefully rescued from a historic structure in Gujarat, India. These remarkable 19th-century originals are not just doors; they are a piece of living history, brimming with character and heritage.

Historical Significance:
Hailing from Gujarat, these doors served as the first line of defense in esteemed households. Positioned at the end of pathways or driveways, they were also mounted in front of solid doors, allowing for ventilation without compromising security. The authentic heavy-duty iron fittings, locks, and bolts bear witness to their historical role. In Hindi, they are known as 'Lakdi Aur Lohe Ka Darwaza,' with 'Lakdi Aur' signifying wood and iron and 'Darwaza' meaning door.

Architectural Elegance:
These doors are a prime example of 'Jali' craftsmanship, featuring intricate perforated lattice ironwork, which translates to 'see-through.' The artistry in these doors tells a story of a bygone era, making them an ideal choice for both traditional cottages and modern homes, where they can adorn a feature wall.

Versatile Applications:
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, our doors find new life in various creative applications. Create grand entrances to walled gardens, patio areas, and terraces, or reimagine them as unique shutters. Movie enthusiasts will appreciate their potential for recreating a nostalgic Indian backdrop.

Condition report:

Our doors have been salvaged from decaying structures, ensuring they are preserved for future generations. Their age is evident, bearing historic repairs, age-related marks, and the natural wear and tear that comes with time. Please examine the provided photos, as they form an integral part of the description.

    I am about to have very major spinal surgery. The delivery man dumped the bench and huge wooden palate on the drive and when I asked him politely if he would help my housekeeper carry it through to the garden, he refused and was exceptionally rude. I then asked if he would please take away the palate and he refused, again very, very rudely. After that, in desperation, I explained again that I am awaiting huge spinal surgery and cannot lift anything so if he would not assist my housekeeper to walk 20 feet to the garden, I would have no choice but to refuse the delivery. My words were: "Please sir, we are not strong enough to get it off or out to the garden, it's very heavy, so please take it away with you." He turned and walked away from me. My housekeeper was standing with me and was so irate that she wanted to ring you immediately. I am horrified by the entire experience and plan to speak to the people at Interior. It was ridiculous because his entire behaviour made me cry and made my housekeeper enraged. Anne Loseff

    The furniture is wonderful and arrived in the designated time. The only problem was the delivery driver who reluctantly brought it to our door (we live on a pedestrian terrace) and then left us with a huge wooden pallet and all the large amount of packaging. It would have been helpful if he could have helped take the packaging and pallet away.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 17th October 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
