PAIR OF FRENCH SCRUBBED AND WORN PINE TENON-MORTISED DOORS
With decoupage & trompe l'oeil decoration throughout | 19th century
Item # 306UMJ21P
These super fun and incredibly worn French scrubbed pine doors are austere in construction with full width planks of solid pine divided by a single cross-member in the upper and breadboard ends affixed on the top and bottom of the door, all with small wooden pegs driven through the tenons to lock the form together. What would otherwise be very plain (though with a wonderful aged surface throughout!) has been transformed into a visually chaotic and playful collection of applied decoupage prints that have been manipulated with trompe l'oeil artistry. They are a strikepoint that incorporates easily as wall hangings for some historical surface and texture in an interior, but also could be professionally retrofitted to be utilized as interior doors in the home for a very special space.
Measurements: 95 1/2" H x 33 3/8" W (approximately for both doors), 16 7/8" W per door; 1 1/8" door depth
Condition Report:
Heavily worn, extensive loss to decoupage, surface beautifully oxidized and patinated throughout with shrinkage splits etc.; doors are in as-is condition with missing hardware; they would require professional work in order to be hung operationally in a home.
