Extraordinary Doors

We get a lot of doors at Artefacts and, while some are stock and standard (if that’s even a thing?), every now and then we get some that are decidedly not.  Maybe it’s their size or their finish or a crazy beauty that stands above?

Here is a list of currently available doors that don’t fit the norm.

A:  Gothic double doors that once graced a church in Clinton.  Board on board pine measuring roughly 73″w x 111″h.

B:  A beautifully grain painted pine interior pair of doors – the same finish on both sides.  Picked up in Conestoga but it’s not clear that they came from there.  Roughly 61″w x 89 1/2″h x 1 3/8″ in a new frame.

C:  One honkin’ big industrial door that just happens to come with its rollers and track.

D:  My favourite, by far.  Double folding Italianate doors in faux rosewood paint and featuring dazzling etched ruby flash glass – c 1880.  Removed from a home in downtown London about 40 years ago they measure roughly 98″w x 100″h.

E:  This Abby Normal pocket door is actually two doors affixed as one big roller in oak.  Lucan c1920.  72″w x 88″h.

F:  One of the biggest pocket doors we’ve ever had, this pine monster measures 63″w x 96″h and came from a modest farm house near Staffa.  It’s sister door was 72″ wide!

G:  Drop dead double doors from Southampton c1885.  Bold bolection molding and cut glass to die for.  52″w x 96″h x 1 3/4″.

H:  One of a large group of oak and bevel glass doors recently removed from an Arts & Crafts home in Aldershot.  They all have this feel but vary in the glass design and overall size. Widths between 26″ and 32″ x about 80″ high.  There is one pair at 53″ x 80″ x 1 3/4″.

J:  This handsome double door was removed from a church in Fergus and date from around 1910.  Don’t they make a statement?  56 1/2″w x 89 1/2″h x 1 3/4″.

K:  One of the prettier doors we’ve had over the years and I don’t think it’s just the red paint.  Salvaged just prior to the demolition of a house outside of Ingersol that was built in 1905, this heavy pine door features gorgeous carved elements and a healthy bevel on the glass.  35 3/4″w x 83 1/2″ x 1 3/4″.

This is, of course, only a few of the doors we have on hand.  Best to come in for a closer look.
