* Please note that the 28"x88.5" in the title is just an estimate. The door is not exactly that size. Please see "Dimensions" below.
Handsome, antique, interior door salvaged from an from an old, Victorian home built in the late 1800's in Northeastern PA. It's made of solid Douglas Fir or pine, and is painted white 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.
The door has a Victorian style, 6-panel arrangement with 4 vertical and 2 horizontal panels. The panels are raised on both sides.
Hardware: The door is not equipped with any hardware. However, we have a good selection of period hardware to outfit them (check out our eBay store).
* If you would like any of the hardware holes plugged with solid wood, please email us for a quote.
Uneven Size:
The height and with of the door were unevenly cut by 1/4". The cuts were most likely made to accommodate a warped floor or sagging foundation.
We could cut the doors 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 broken or cracked joints, gouges, rot, warp, or any other serious issues. The door has a few dents on 2 of the hinge mortises (see 4th photo) and a break in one of the panels (see last photo). Expansion and contraction occurs naturally due to changes in temperature, and the cracks are just a result of this process over the course of many years. It may sound funny, but when the panels expanded and reached their limits within their openings or frames; they were unable to stretch out any further, and ultimately cracked in the center to relieve their stress or tension.
Otherwise, Most of the blemishes that it has will disappear after sanding, prior to refinishing or repainting, and whatever remains will be subtle, "character marks"
