Sandstone Alla from Monsoon Trading architectural pieces

Old marble and sandstone objects, many of them one offs, are now available from Monsoon Trading's Sydney warehouse.

This is an alla, usually found built into door tops, of traditional, old havelis. The household would burn butter lamps in the alla, to call the Gods down to bless the home. Beautifully carved from Rajasthani sandstone, this larger piece has lovely gravitas and would look stunning placed on a small plinth in the garden, with candles burning. A unique and serene atmosphere could be created, by building a series of 3 smaller alla, into an outdoor wall. Part of our beautiful selection of unique garden and interior pieces.

We also have architectural antiques, decorative objects and furniture, see our website for a taste of what's available.
