The original red paint is chipped and distressed, adding to the authentic vintage nature of this pair of salvaged exterior doors.

This rare set of extremely large doors is part of a remarkable collection currently in our inventory; see other door listings for additional options while available.

In the country side of 19th century Hungary, wealthy farmers had agricultural fields outside the villages but also had a large house in town. These houses often represented the wealth of the family. Their "house in town" would have a granary next to it as they needed to carry agricultural goods by large wagons from the countryside into the village. The doors and gates had to be very tall and wide to accomodate the large wagons, which is how this set of doors (just under 10' tall) was originally used. You will see the mail slot in the left door and vintage door handle in the right.
