The Efthimios Wooden Ceiling holds a certain kind of beauty that only comes with age. This hand-carved teak panel was part of a former life in a traditional Indian home, where it was used to frame a ceiling or an arched doorway. Today, it remains an architectural fragment with a presence only time can create.
Look closely and you'll see what makes it unique. The surface holds an intricate lattice of scrollwork and floral medallions in soft, faded tones of cream, ochre, and rose against a deep ink-dark ground. Around it sits a carved teak frame with beautifully chipped paint and a worn rosette border, each flake a little history of its own. This is the kind of piece that doesn't try to look old; it simply is.
Use it as a sculptural object against a wall. Hang it horizontally over a bed as a dramatic headboard. Mount a pair on either side of a doorway for that unmistakable old-world symmetry. Use it as a feature panel in a hallway or study, where every wall deserves something soulful.
As this is part of an assorted collection, each piece has its own pattern of wear, palette of paint loss, and personality. No two are exactly alike, and the one you receive will be uniquely yours, just like the home it came from.
