About the Item

Truly a one-of-a-kind set of architecturals, these French doors feature a lovely capriccio oil painting on one side and a lacquered Chinoiserie on the verso. Dating to the 1800s, the wood frames on the front side of the doors (as seen in the main photo) have been painted true white more recently. Raised layers of molding surround a large landscape painting of ochre, brown, and gold. A protruding cornice of rounded molding adorns the frames just below the canvas, above a carved rectangular molding and raised kickplate. The capriccio (a capriccio is an architectural fantasy painting) depicts a massive, bifurcated round staircase surrounding a large outdoor fountain of Neptune/Poseidon in a courtyard. A smaller fountain is seen in the foreground, with a couchant lion cascading water to the basin below. Various staffage (including three cows drinking from the fountain) are scattered about, with a majority of the figures in the act of or waiting to wash clothes in the fountain’s waters. Beyond the upper railings are massive trees, flush with vibrant, green leaves, interrupted by a large colonnade building. In stark contrast to the earthy tones of the 63” H x 84 ¾” W capriccio, the verso side has a brilliant red Chinoiserie of cherry blossoms trees and birds. In Chinoiserie, red symbolizes happiness and prosperity; it is a color associated with good luck in Chinese culture. The scene consists of four vertical panels surrounded by a brown frame, with each scene featuring a pair of birds perched or fluttering about the blooming branches. Various fragments of wood and rock embellish the bottom of each panel, accompanied by additional flowers, vegetation, and birds. At the top of the doors are remnants of a sliding system, indicating that they were either pocket doors or wall-hung sliding doors. Our rare French capriccio and Chinoiserie doors would make excellent doors to a sunroom, living room, or den. When in the closed position, they would be focal points of the room when viewed from either side.

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...
