Hand-Painted Bahraini Doors and Palm Groves for Manama Galleries and Framers

In posts from October 2023 and March 2024, one Adliya framer-gallery shows hand-painted old wooden doors. One post calls its subject a historic Bahraini old wooden door. The posts show doors at 16 x 20 in (about 41 x 51 cm) and 20 x 30 in (about 51 x 76 cm). Some have a raised “3D” finish. A July 2025 post from the same shop lists doors among its Bahraini culture subjects.

So old doors can be a subject family for your own stock. Photograph the doors you know in Bahrain, and we paint from your photos, never from another shop’s paintings. You can start from small sizes like these, or choose your own width and height.

Decide the surface of each door before painting starts. Flat brushwork can travel rolled, with 5 cm of blank canvas on every side for your framer. Heavy texture should travel stretched or framed, so a raised door does not ship rolled. A raised surface is also thicker, so agree the frame depth with your framer before you order.

In one Bahraini gallery-framer’s online catalog, checked in October 2026, date-palm groves are the largest landscape family. The scenes show palm-lined paths, irrigation channels and village farms. Some are described as Bahraini farms, and many others as Iraqi landscapes. Several of its paintings use long formats, such as 50 x 150, 70 x 150 or 150 x 70 cm. The catalog describes some of its 50 x 150 cm paintings as vertical.

In that catalog, a 50 x 150 cm acrylic carries the same asking price as an 80 x 60 cm one, though it has more surface. That is one shop pricing by format rather than by area, and you are free to set each size’s shelf price yourself.

We paint your groves from your own photos of Bahraini farms and paths, never from paintings in that catalog. Each size gets its own line in the quote, and rolled, stretched and framed are separate options.

Two canvases from our catalog, not Bahraini subjects. A palm grove can take either shape: upright for tall trunks or a path into the distance, wide for a grove seen from the side.

A walk-in customer may hand you a photo and ask for it on canvas. That photo can become a print or a painting. The gallery-framer behind that Bahraini catalog lists its stretched canvas prints and its painted originals as separate products.

We suggest showing the hand-painted commission on its own line, apart from a printed canvas of the same size. Our photo-to-painting page shows how a photo becomes a painted canvas.

Bahrain’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce has a consumer FAQ that cites Article 14 of the Consumer Protection Law’s implementing regulations. It says a consumer may have an item replaced or refunded within fifteen days of receipt. The FAQ mentions an item with a defect or malfunction, or one that does not conform to the specifications approved by law or the purpose contracted for. The FAQ also tells consumers to keep their invoices. Ask your adviser how this applies to a commissioned painting.

A clear written order helps at your counter either way. We suggest writing the approved photo, painted size, medium and finish on the order. When the canvas arrives, you can check it against that list before your customer collects it, with the daylight photos you approved before shipping as your record. We can deliver commissions to your shop together with your other stock, so the handover happens at your counter.
