28"x74.5" Antique Vintage Old Reclaimed Salvaged Victorian SOLID Wood Wooden Interior Door 4 Panels
Charming, antique door salvaged from the home of the former mayor of Pittston, PA. The door is made of solid chestnut, and is stained on both sides. The door has 4 raised panels on both sides.
Also note that chestnut is a rare and valuable wood; it’s not commercially available due to the blight introduced between 1900 & 1908, which made the North American chestnut trees virtually extinct by 1940.
Hardware: The door is not equipped with hardware. However, we have a good selection of period hardware in our eBay store, and tons more in our physical store.

Quirks & Considerations:
The door has a thin 1/8" gap (see last photo). This is not a serious issue and the doors can still be installed and used for decades without the gaps widening. However, we could close the gaps using clamps and reinforce/secure the corners using modern glue and some dowels (wooden joints)--message us for a quote.
The height of the door was unevenly cut by 1/4". The cut was most likely made to accommodate a warped floor or sagging foundation. We could cut the door to an even height/width, or cut it narrower/shorter, or even build it up to be wider/taller--message us for a quote.
Condition: The door is strong, sturdy, and in great structural condition. It only has nicks and scratches, but no breaks, cracks, gouges, rot, warp, or any other serious issues. Most of the blemishes that it has will disappear after sanding, prior to refinishing or repainting, and whatever remains will be subtle, "character marks."
Swing: The door is set up to swing into a room towards the right, or out towards the left. We could change the swing of the door--message us for a quote
Modification: 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.
Dimensions:
27 3/4" x 74 1/4" - 74 1/2" x 1 3/8"
Too tall, short, wide or narrow? We could increase or decrease the height and/or width--email us for a quote.
