18th Century Oak Porte Cachot Prison Door from Romans-Sur-Isere, France
About the Item
Taken from a prison in Romans-Sur-Isere, France, this porte cachot (dungeon door) has an exterior façade that is embellished with hundreds of iron nailheads arranged in 32 rows. The three inch thick door was hand-carved in the 1700s with a square window fitted with two crossed iron bars beneath an arched top. Parts of the original iron hardware remain, including a handle and lock plate, both on the exterior side. The door has fantastic character, with its original patina from hundreds of years of age and natural wear. This one of a kind piece would make a great door for a courtyard entrance. It can also be used as an interior door for a pantry or wine cellar.

- 17th Century French Oak Entry Doors from a Hotel Particulier, Aix-En-ProvenceLocated in Dallas, TXHand-crafted in the late 1600s in France, this stunning pair of entry doors once graced a hotel particulier in Aix-en-Provence, in the South of France. A hotel particulier is not a hotel in today’s sense of the word, but rather it is a large, private residence, typically with an interior courtyard. It is derived from the Old French word hostel and particulier, which means “private”. There are numerous examples in larger cities in France, such as Paris, Bordeaux, and Aix-en-Provence. The doors were crafted out of local French oak wood. Both doors have been carved with the same details and adorned with two tiers of iron nailheads, one at the very top, and one along the top of the bottom panel. These iron nails secure the long horizontal iron hinge straps on the backs of the doors The bottom portion of the doors consists of a large carved lozenge that consists of four smaller raised lozenges. The middle panel is comprised of a vertical rectangle with an arched top and thick layers of molding that form a fantastic architrave. A significantly thinner molding graces the uppermost panel, which also has been carved as a rectangle (horizontally orientated) with a sinuous bottom. Expertly restored for over 3 months by a talented French ebeniste, the doors combine French history with beautiful functionality (photos of pre-restoration available upon request).
