DETAILS
This magnificent set of antique, double door iron gates was hand crafted in the Beaux Arts tradition. No doubt from a grand home, or public building, these feature an arched transom with scrolled patterns over the long doors that display geometric designs at the top and scrolled designs at the bottom. The main body of the doors display a simple bar pattern interspersed with circle details. These make a tremendous impact. Note: bottom panels could be removed reducing the height by 36 inches.
