Hollywood Blvd Cinema Memorabilia
Lot 1150:
Description
A magnificent example of architectural salvage, likely hailing from Northern India or a similar Indo-Persian region. This massive archway and door set features breathtaking Jali (lattice) work throughout the panels and doors. The piece is constructed from solid wood and boasts vibrant, hand-painted polychrome accents in deep reds, blues, and greens, further elevated by extensive gold gilt-work. You’ll notice the traditional scalloped arch and floral carvings (likely lotus or peony motifs) that suggest a late 19th to early 20th-century craftsmanship. The doors still retain their original heavy brass ring pulls. In terms of condition, the piece shows a lovely, authentic patina with expected “alligatoring” or crackling to the paint and gesso, scattered chips to the wood carvings, and some fading to the gilt, all of which confirm its age and historical character. H 96″, W 74″, D 3″ Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly. Please note: Buyer is responsible for removal. From the Hollywood Blvd. Cinemas Collection.
