Monastery Door from Seville Spain
About the Item
This Monastery door comes in two pieces: the demilune overdoor and the rectangular door. Numerous examples of framed geometric shapes with iron nail heads prevail throughout the design of the front of the door. An iron door knocker centers the door. There are horizontal back boards supporting the designs. The back of the door has vertical boards with two horizontal iron straps, one near the top and one near the bottom. The demilune overdoor has stylized radius boards emanating from another demilune shape with a heart cutout. In Church symbolism, the heart represents love. There are two more radius cutouts above the heart.
Monastery doors of this age are very rare. This door could be used in numerous ways within the home.

- Pair of Circa 1750 Walnut Wood Entry Doors from SpainLocated in Dallas, TXSpanish furniture and architecturals of the 18th century, such as this pair of walnut wood entry doors, were highly influenced by French stylings. Hand-carved circa 1750, the doors feature deep, sinuous moldings, reminiscent of the curvaceous motifs seen during the reign of Louis XV. The amazing doors have a rich brown patina that accentuates the charm of the carvings, which are also enhanced by the visible screws used to join the pieces of walnut wood. Comprised of five carved panels per door, each carving is similar: a rough rectangle with rounded ends and barbed counter curves. The three smaller panels are orientated horizontally, surrounding the two larger and vertically arranged panels. A thickly scrolled bronze pull can be seen on each door, also functioning as door knockers (the door on the right has commensurate wear from the pull striking the wood). Because these Spanish entry doors...Category
