These are the doors. Salvaged from a farmhouse in rural Ohio. They are so special photos hardly convey the richness of character and unique labor of love they must have been to create…
Around the 1920s, and presumably as they hung in the same house, these doors were carefully hand-carved and (with various other techniques) decorated. They are probably a bit older than that timeframe-but considering the age of the home they are pair of solid wood single two panel turn of the century interior doors. With the allover decorative motifs typical for the period, including craftsman stylized borders and depicted other natural elements but mostly the animated leopard’s heads at the center of each door; these are a head-spinning and remarkable piece of American folk art history.
Sold as-found. Showing age more in certain areas along edges as doors do; but overall very much ready for use. We added for display purposes patinated brass plates and Bennington Pottery ceramic knobs. Sold with hardware.
Truly a once-in-a-lifetime find, these doors will make a powerful impact on any space.
Each door measures
78” tall
30” wide
1.5” deep
Sold as the pair only.
