It was removed by his descendants, but it's beauty and craftsmanship, and the love he put into designing and building it, remains. This gate speaks, from a history rich with the time, place and function it served, and for the hands that crafted it for the dwelling it adorned. To me, these attributes raise it from a piece of decor to a true piece of art. It should not be used as a working gate or placed in an area exposed to weather. It would be perfect for decor on a well-protected porch wall or inside as a decorative nod to the past or to family roots. It could also be used in a functional way, possibly with the careful addition of hooks, for hanging kitchen towels, prized copper pans or utensils. This piece exudes a warmth and an emotion that only a few items that I've owned have possessed. See less

It is in the condition in which I received it. It appears to have been painted at some point in it's life as there are subtle flecks of yellow paint in some areas. There are superficial splits, gouges and darkened areas from age and years of use. The gate has had all hardware removed and would need to have some form of hardware carefully attached to mount on a wall. less
