TIMOR DOORS

These doors, meticulously crafted with intricate designs and symbols, offer a glimpse into the fascinating heritage of Timor. Timorese doors are typically adorned with traditional motifs, often featuring geometric, zoomorphic (with crocodiles being a recurring theme, as they are mythologically considered the creators of the world), anthropomorphic elements, or a captivating blend of them all.

These doors serve various purposes, from gracing the lopo (meeting hall and granary) to being an integral part of traditional dwellings (capanne). They come in diverse forms, including horizontal trapdoors for accessing different levels within a dwelling or conventional vertical doors. Each door carries a unique story and cultural significance, making them more than just functional pieces; they are a testament to the enduring beauty of Timor's artistic legacy. Explore our collection and bring a touch of Timorese elegance to your space.
