Spectacular, rare antique Eastlake Victorian double entry doors with original acid etched glass panels depicting doves/birds in an ornate floral/geometric design and original antique Eastlake hardware! These doors are large, solid and heavy, (guessing close to 100lbs each) and harken back to the Gilded Age of opulence!
Each door measures 95 1/2" ( just under 8ft) tall with a width of 27" and a thickness of 1 7/8". There's a center muntin molding that overlaps by 3/...8", making the total span approximately 54 1/4". Etched glass panels measure approximately 17 1/4" by 44 1/4" with a thickness of about 1/4". Recently salvaged from a once beautiful upstate NY Victorian mansion dating to the 1880's.
Made of solid, clear fir or heavy heart pine with detailed Eastlake style raised panel and scalloped moldings. One side (exterior) has it's original antique stained/varnish finish in a warm honey pine with dark walnut faux grain accents. The other side (interior) has been stripped of paint (once was painted) and is ready for a fresh primer and top coat of paint. Age related wear & tear on both sides; some minor chipping at the bottom of each door that could easily be repaired.
Each door has 3 matching 4" antique Eastlake steeple hinges (see pics) for a total of 6 matching hinges. Original antique door knobs, mail slot and escutcheon plate with 2 original antique turn locks. Missing one small skeleton key backplate. The antique etched glass panels are in beautiful shape with no chips or cracks; some small areas of age related discoloration. Overall, these doors are in very nice original antique condition and have been very well taken care of for the past 130+ years!
Listed as local pickup, but will help make freight arrangements (Uship) if necessary. We have several reliable, experienced delivery drivers we use quite often. Additional pictures available upon request. Beautiful craftsmanship from a bygone era, these doors really make a statement! Would be a fine addition to your new Victorian mansion or restored Victorian home! Honestly, where will you find another authentic set of antique doors like these?
