Traditional Pintu Pagar - 6

Pintu pagar No. 20 looks unusually new, and so are its main doors and window frames and the window pagar.  I wonder if these are newly fabricated or from the original occupants.  The hinges also lool quite shiny and new.

This pintu pagar is very simply designed, with the bottom two panels replicated for the top two panels.

The pendant lamp hanging fromt the ceiling looks like a simple modern design, which reinforces my suspicions that this set of pintu pagar is newly fabricated.

Pintu pagar No. 21 has 4 sections of panels that are very elaborately carved, and I nearly got lost in the maze of flora and avian.  Unfortunately I am unable to identify the flora and avian accurately in this pintu pagar.  

The glass (?) panel is also shaped quite diferently from other pintu pagars, and the glass (?) is also patterened.  I am guessing that the original occupants were rather well-to-do.


Pintu pagar No. 22 consists of 3 sections of elaborately carved wooden panels.  What caught my eye was the pendant lamp hanging from the ceiling.  It look as it it was from a certain era gone by, and I wonder if it is the original pendant lamp.

The main doors definitely look new, thus I wonder if only the pintu pagar was original.
