Art Deco Pair of Grand Iron Entry Doors

Circa 1920's, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Wonderful, stately pair of huge entry doors with glass inserts.
Although shown with a space above, these doors close as a pair for a grand entryway.

in a linear and hammered finish.

Matching open balcony railing, also in a grand scale; 18' long.
The open scrollwork and geometric designs from the set of doors is repeated on the railing.

During the 1920's and the 1930's many Art Deco designs
were taken to South America and were collected by the affluent there.

in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The construction quality is top notch and the ironwork design is well executed.
The doors are EXTREMELY heavy and vault-like.

Shown in original condition, with the green paint and patina intact,
imagine these restored to their original glory, either with a polished iron finish
or sandblasted and re-painted in the color of your choice.

French Art Deco Style Macassar Ebony Wall Panel
The Famous Chariot and Nymph (woman) inlay, designed by Ruhlmann

cover for a flat screen tv or a custom cabinet similar to the old design.
You could also make a base and turn it into a coffee table top.

The chariot and nymph design has been carefully designed to replicate the well known inlay design
created by the master of Art Deco, Emile Jacques Ruhlmann.
