Antique Solid Wood Doors
w/5 Horizontal Panels
* Although there are 2 doors available, the list price is for 1 door only.
If you are planning on buying only 1 door please email us after the auction to let us know which door you'd like. The first 3 photos show Door#1, and the last 5 photos show Door#2.
Robust, antique, interior doors salvaged from a newly-remodeled,1920's home in the most affluent neighborhood in Scranton, PA.
The doors are made of solid pine or Douglas Fir and are completely painted. They
have 5 recessed (flat), horizontal, stacked panels on both sides.
When most people hear "pine" they think of a cheap, weak, soft wood. New pine hewn from 10 - 20 year old trees don't have the same insect-resistant, rot-resistant, or even fire-resistant qualities that old pine, hewn from trees hundreds of years old have. Old pine is also much harder and stronger than young pine.
Hardware
:
None of the doors are equipped with hardware
. However, w
e have a good selection of period hardware in our eBay store, and tons more in our physical store.

Uneven Height
:
The height of Door#1 was unevenly cut by 3/4" and the height of Door#2 by 1/4". The cuts were most likely to accommodate a warped floor or sagging foundation. We could cut either to an even height, cut it narrower/shorter, or even build it up to be wider/taller--

Condition
:
Considering that the doors are almost 100 years old, they are in great shape! We pulled them directly from the house, so they were handled with care the whole time.
The only issues to point out are on the hinge stile of Door#2. There is a thin break from impact next to the top hinge mortise (slot or pocket where the hinge lays), and I'm not sure what happened under the bottom mortise but there is some kind of compound or putty about 1/4" thick covering that corner. If you need 1/4" or more shaved from one side to reduce the width, this will remove both flaws. If not, we could fix them

Otherwise, expect only nicks, scrapes/chips, and scratches, but no breaks, cracks, rot, warp, or any other serious issues. Most of the blemishes that they have
will disappear after sanding, prior to refinishing or repainting, and whatever remains will be subtle, "character marks."
Refinish/Repaint
:
We could refinish, repaint, or partially or completely strip the doors to prepare it for you to repaint or refinish.
See the last photo in this auction as an example of our work.

Swing
:
Door#1 is set up to swing into a room towards the right, or away from the room towards the left; Door#2 swings in the opposite direction. We could change the swing of either door--

Modification
:
Do you want to make a pair using these 2 doors? Do you want to replace the panels with glass, screen/mesh, or something else? We could modify the doors to fit your opening or suite your needs. We could make a frame, trim or add to the height or width, reverse the swing, plug the hardware holes, etc. Email us with a small description of what you would like done, and we'll give you a quote.
