Antique Moroccan Riad Door with Bab al-Khoukha Pedestrian Door

Antique Moroccan Riad Door with Bab al-Khoukha Pedestrian Door

Size: 48"W x 103"H x 1.5"D

SKU#: CWD116

A monumental antique Moroccan double door in the grand riad tradition, featuring an integrated bab al-khoukha — the smaller pedestrian door set within the larger leaf, a hallmark of traditional Moroccan palace and riad architecture. The great door opened for ceremony, livestock, and goods; the small inner door served daily foot traffic, allowing the household to come and go without unsealing the entire entrance. A door within a door.

Every square inch of both leaves is covered in hand-painted eight-pointed khatim star tessellation, rendered in the saturated heritage palette of oxblood, antique gold-ochre, forest green, and indigo — softened by genuine age into the dusty patina of a true antique. The pedestrian door retains its own painted horseshoe arch silhouette and miniature decoration program. Original hand-forged iron banding runs across the top, middle, and base of the structure, secured with hand-cut nails in the manner of traditional Moroccan fortress and palace gates.

A museum-grade architectural artifact of historical and decorative significance. Ideal as the defining statement piece for a grand entryway, hospitality lobby, gallery installation, or private collection.
