Handsome, antique doors salvaged from an old, home in Northeastern PA. These doors were original to the home's construction and the home was built during the 1920's. The doors have a solid heartpine or Douglas Fir core, veneered with 1/16" thick heartpine veneers. All of the doors are stained and finished. They have a traditional, Arts & Crafts style, single recessed (flat) panel design.
Please don't think that "veneer" means inferior quality. Unlike the paper-thin veneers used on modern doors and furniture, these veneers are 1/16" thick and provide strength and stability to the door.
Please note that heartpine is the non-living, core of a pine tree, and not the soft, outer, living sap-wood. Since it takes 30 years for a pine tree just to develop just 1” of heart stock it is rarer, harder, more durable, more insect & rot resistant, less susceptible to warping and twisting, and is much more valuable than the cheap, pine lumber that is commonly found at most hardware stores.
Hardware: None of the doors are equipped with hardware. However, we have a good selection of period hardware in our eBay store, and tons more in our physical store.
* If you would like small recesses for the pulls plugged with solid wood, email us for a quote.
Uneven size: The heights of Doors#4 & 5 and the width of Door#6 were unevenly cut by 1/4" - 3/4" most likely to accommodate a warped floor or sagging foundation. We could cut any to an even height/width, cut it narrower/shorter, or even build it up to be wider/taller--email us for a quote.
Condition: All of the doors are strong and, sturdy, but are missing big portions of veneer (mostly along the bottom). If you need the doors about 2" - 3" shorter, the bottoms with the missing portions of veneer could be cut off. If you need them at 79" or taller and are planning on painting, the missing portions could be filled with compound or any kind of veneer (doesn't have to match surrounding veneer). If you're planning on staining, we could re-veneer the doors--email us for a quote.
Otherwise, the doors only have nicks and scratches, but no breaks, cracks, gouges, 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. Email us with a small description of what you would like done, and we'll give you a quote.
Swing: Door#4 is set up to swing into a room towards the right, or away from the room towards the left; Doors#5 & 6 swings in the opposite direction. We could change the swing of any door--email us for a quote.
Modification: Do you want to make a pair using 2 of these 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.
