Antique Moroccan Riad Door with Twin Painted Mihrab Arches

Antique Moroccan Riad Door with Twin Painted Mihrab Arches

Size: 57"W x 103"H x 2"D

SKU#: CWD118

A monumental antique Moroccan double door in the grand riad tradition, built around twin painted horseshoe mihrab arches set into the lower panels. The upper panels carry massive painted eight-pointed shamsa rosettes radiating across the full field, surrounded by constellations of smaller secondary stars in the classical Moroccan palette of antique gold, oxblood, ivory, and indigo.

The surface carries multiple historical paint layers — an earlier turquoise-blue scheme ghosts through along the top banding and frame edges, evidence of a repainting during the door's working life and a stratified biography that specialist collectors specifically seek out. Original hand-forged iron banding runs across the top and middle, secured with hand-cut nails. 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.
