Our lst pair!
These monumental doors are impressive additions as garden gates or as entryway home accents.
China antique Qing Courtyard Garden Gates, humu (elmwood) and hand forged iron hinges with prolific metal decorative embellishments,
pair (closed) approximately 96″h x 60″w, Qing dynasty (1644-1912), included is a wooden frame ensemble for installing in your garden
According to Douglas Schneible, “We installed two pairs in our garden gallery several years ago. We love the idea that these doors endured the age of time and once adorned a magnificent Chinese Courtyard home over 150 years ago. They’re amazing works of art that are handsome, practical, rugged and should easily endure another century. We feel lucky that these were saved from almost certain destruction. While we quietly enjoy strolling through them almost every day, we were not prepared for all the terrific compliments we received from friends, family and garden loving clients! After being outside for a while they mellowed to a gorgeous gray hue but could also be stained or painted.”
