Tall Haussmanien Style Doors-1800’s France

This is a stately pair of Haussmanien style antique doors from France. They are constructed of pine, circa 1870 and they are still in very good condition. Each door is adorned with wonderful bronze antique handles.

The moldings on these doors are straight lined and symmetrical. The ornamentation is simple, while their height is imposing, making a strong statement.
