About the Item

Standing at almost 3m tall, this huge unglazed antique gothic door dates from the early 19th century. Purportedly, it was taken from Rugby School in Warwickshire, a site with a rich history and architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries. Handcrafted, it is made in pine with a scumble paint finish that gives it an old, antique look, detailed with three unglazed ecclesiastical shaped apertures above a three-panel base. The arched design is distinctly gothic in style, supported by large wrought iron L-shaped hinges and window bars. This antique arched door is estimated to be more than 200 years old. It was likely removed during refurbishments at Rugby School during the 1960s or 1990s. Founded in 1567, Rugby School once resided at the centre of the town, relocating to a new site around 1750. A number of new buildings were built on the site from 1809 to 1815 designed by architect Henry Hakewill, many of which are still used to this day. Hakewill was known for his gothic architectural style and it is for this reason that we believe this door dates from this period. The window openings are unglazed and detailed with wrought iron bars to create the illusion of panes, suggesting that this gothic arched door was once used in a sheltered walkway. With its reclaimed look and gothic styling, it today makes a spectacular door for a country estate or courtyard, perhaps used as a grand entrance to an open barn or large gate to a walled garden.
