Pair of 18th Century French Communication Doors

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This pair of 18th-century French communication doors displays an elegant blend of craftsmanship and rustic charm. Constructed from solid wood, likely walnut, they feature beautifully carved panels with intricate curved detailing in the central sections, a hallmark of the period’s design. The upper and lower rectangular panels add a sense of balance and structure to the overall composition, while the arched top design sets them apart, lending a subtle yet refined architectural elegance.

The doors boast a rich, warm patina, a testament to their age and the quality of the wood used. Hand-forged metal hardware, including a rustic central latch and hinges, adds functional yet decorative elements, consistent with the craftsmanship of 18th-century France. The rustic metal lock and escutcheon plates reflect traditional blacksmith techniques and enhance the doors’ historical authenticity.

The style of these doors leans towards Louis XIV or early Louis XV, reflecting the transition from the grandiose Baroque to the more curvilinear and softer Rococo style. Their combination of functional utility and artistic design makes them ideal for a period restoration project or as a unique architectural feature in modern interiors. These doors not only offer historical value but also add a timeless, elegant statement to any space.
