Dating to the period of Louis XV (circa 1750), this pair of walnut facades or cabinet doors were hand-carved in Provence, France. The beautiful doors, which have a golden brown patina, are accompanied by a full-length transom adorned with two flowering olive branches set inside a pair of elongated volutes. This horizontal crosspiece sits atop the two doors that consist of two highly shaped asymmetrical panels surrounding a sinuous center rail. The left door also has a large mullion, embellished with a flowering plant situated between two thinly molded asymmetrical panels. Parts of the original hardware remain, including four large gudgeon hinges and a pierced geometric escutcheon on each door. The backside of the doors have been lined with a thick toile de jouy of a white background with lozenge stitching and a repeating scene of various horses and carriages traversing the landscape. Our pair of walnut doors from Provence can be used in the kitchen as a cabinet door or as the facade of a built-in cabinet.
*For shipping and transportation, the transom is a separate piece from the doors (three pieces of carved wood total).*
