Circa 1920's, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Wonderful, stately pair of huge
entry doors with glass inserts.

for a grand entryway.

Hand wrought forged iron doors with solid panels that have been
textured in a linear and hammered finish.
Lower panel has a stacked design with subtle art deco
profile/details.
Hand wrought open scrollwork and geometric designs,
typical of the 1925 French Art Deco influence of the Paris
Exposition.
Each door is backed with a
(optional use) separate iron frame that holds a glass panel.
You may use any type of glass backing, or none at all, depending
on your installation.
Signature plaques on each door from the artisan that created
these grand works of art.
Matching open balcony railing,
also in a grand scale; 18' long.
The open scrollwork and geometric designs from the set of doors
is repeated on the railing.
The stepped, textured hand rail repeats the textures and subtle
design on the door panel bottoms.
Shown in original condition, with the green paint and patina
intact,
imagine these restored to their original glory, either with a
polished iron finish
or sandblasted and re-painted in the color of your choice.
During the 1920's and the 1930's
many Art Deco designs were taken to South America
and were collected by the affluent there. This set of doors and
railing was clearly a custom commission
for a very grand home in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The
construction quality is top notch
and the ironwork design is well executed. The doors are
EXTREMELY heavy and vault-like.
They will require special
attention and installation by an expert who will know the proper
hinges
and locks to use, also, how to properly frame doors of this
substance.
