Pair of Circa 1750 Solid Walnut Façade or Cabinet Doors from Provence, France

About the Item

Dating to the period of Louis XV (circa 1750), this pair of walnut facades or cabinet doors were hand-carved in Provence, France. The beautiful doors, which have a golden brown patina, are accompanied by a full-length transom adorned with two flowering olive branches set inside a pair of elongated volutes. This horizontal crosspiece sits atop the two doors that consist of two highly shaped asymmetrical panels surrounding a sinuous center rail. The left door also has a large mullion, embellished with a flowering plant situated between two thinly molded asymmetrical panels. Parts of the original hardware remain, including four large gudgeon hinges and a pierced geometric escutcheon on each door. The backside of the doors have been lined with a thick toile de jouy of a white background with lozenge stitching and a repeating scene of various horses and carriages traversing the landscape. Our pair of walnut doors from Provence can be used in the kitchen as a cabinet door or as the facade of a built-in cabinet.

Pair of Circa 1750 Walnut Wood Entry Doors from Spain
Located in Dallas, TX
Spanish 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...

Pair of Tall 19th Century Chapel Doors from Belgium
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved in Belgium, circa 1860, this 11 foot tall pair of doors (132.88 inches) were recently salvaged from a Belgian chapel. They can be considered of the Gothic style, which is sometimes referred to as “pointed architecture”, because of the prevalence of pointed arches in buildings. Each door is composed of six vertical planks constructed with mortise and tenon joinery. All planks have been adorned with iron pyramid protuberances, placed in a repeating pattern. The planks and iron retain their white paint, now naturally weathered over the years, perfect for those who appreciate original condition. At over 11 feet tall, these 19th century chapel doors...
