Since ancient times, people have created necessary tools from familiar materials, passed them on, and nurtured a lifestyle culture in order to survive in the severe struggle against nature.

This magnificent pair of huge wood doors originally served as a large gate in Southern Hungary, likely Szeged. Note the dramatic carved arched crown and Corinthian columns that accent the massive paneled and carved doors; with all these elements combined this pair absolutely commands attention. In 19th century Hungary, the original home owner of these doors had a farm out in the country and a house in the village.

These massive, heavily paneled doors are even more impressive in person. The original red paint is chipped and distressed, adding to the authentic vintage nature of this pair of salvaged exterior doors.

The doors and gates had to be very tall and wide to accommodate the large wagons, which is how this set of doors (just under 10' tall) was originally used.
