Old 2 Way Stone Lamp Niche From Jaisalmer- 19th Century
This charming 19th-century stone lamp niche from Jaisalmer is hand carved from the region’s distinctive golden sandstone, long celebrated for its warm colour and use throughout the desert architecture of Rajasthan. Featuring a beautifully balanced twin-arched opening beneath stylised floral carving, the piece reflects the refined craftsmanship and Indo-Islamic influences associated with the historic havelis and forts of Jaisalmer.
Traditionally positioned beside doorways to hold small oil lamps or candles, these architectural niches once cast a warm glow across courtyards and entranceways.
