  • Large and Unique Antique French Boiserie with Covered Alcove, 17th Century
    Located in Dallas, TX
    This beautiful section of boiserie has been carved from softwood in the 17th century (upper section pieces only). It has been completely cleaned (stripped) and clear waxed at some point in it's history, and about 15 years ago, the previous owners added the base section (one piece), and backing.

  • Pair of Massive Antique Salvaged Architectural Doors with Arches
    Located in Round Top, TX

In 19th century Hungary, the original home owner of these doors had a farm out in the country and a house in the village. When they brought agricultural goods to town, this gate was wide enough for a hay wagon to enter while the door on the right (with handle) opened for individuals. Old vintage doors...
