Pair of Indian doors in embossed copper and polychrome enamel – 20th century An interesting and decorative pair of doors, likely of Indian manufacture from the 20th century, characterized by rich artisanal craftsmanship in embossed copper and polychrome enamel. The front surface features an elaborate geometric composition, outlined by metal frames worked in relief and embellished with numerous enameled copper elements, all entirely handcrafted.
