The gebyok is a sturdy solid teak wood structure serving as a doorway showpiece in traditional Javanese and Balinese homes. There are distinct types of gebyok reflecting regional cultures, but no two gebyok are alike even within regions. Each is the creation of masterful traditional wood carvers often carrying a unique theme suited to the household. Types of gebyok with distinctive looks include those originating in Central Java having elaborate and see through carved panels; those from the island of Madura just off the coast of East Java, having relatively deep and intricate details; and those from Bali showing the greatest carving details. We proudly offer genuine antique gebyok from Javanese homes, as well as newly crafted gebyok using old teak salvaged from traditional homes on Java. We also can provide clients custom-made gebyok to fit specific doorways and carrying a specified carving motif, along with coloring and finishing options. A gebyok provides an elegant and unique decorating solution for interior doorways, as well as solid walls. We guarantee each to be unique and completely crafted by hand.
