Previously used as a decorative panel and transformed into a door, this carved antique door is a fascinating piece, making a spectacular architectural feature of a home office, library or reception room. The fruitwood carving depicts a young male styled in the manner of a neoclassical term, with torso bare and locks of wavy hair. He is surrounded by a frame of fruits and foliage with carved floral roundels to each corner.
With a plain vertical plank reverse, this handsome carved oak door could alternatively be styled into an interior as a decorative wall panel, creating a feature of the medieval style carving.
