aged antique like doors suitable for front main entry, ballrooms and
new construction. The styles range from Victorian to Renaissance.
Some may be an entry doors with beautiful carvings and ornaments,
others are oversized interior wood paneled doors. We make French

panels of leaded and beveled art and stained glass.
Gothic Doors and Architecture: is
a style of architecture, particularly associated with cathedrals and
other churches, which flourished in Europe during the high and late
medieval period. Beginning in 12th century France, it was known as
"the French Style", with the term Gothic first appearing in the
Reformation era as a stylistic insult. It was succeeded by
Renaissance architecture beginning in Florence in the 15th century.
A series of Gothic revivals began in mid-18th century England,
spread through 19th century Europe and continued, largely for
ecclesiastical and university structures, into the 20th century.
Antique is an object, often
furniture, a door or any other domestic item, that is highly valued
because of its age, unique style, or because it belongs to a
specific time period. A relic or old object having aesthetic,
historic, and financial value. Formerly, it referred only to the
remains of the classical cultures of Greece and Rome; gradually,
decorative arts—courtly, bourgeois, and peasant—of all past eras and
places came to be considered antique.
Import Antiques have been variously defined by law for tariff
purposes. The U.S. Tariff Act of 1930 exempted from duty specified
antiquities and objects of art produced prior to 1830, and that year
became more or less internationally accepted as an appropriate
terminal date in defining “antique.” In 1952 the Florence Agreement,
sponsored by UNESCO and signed by 17 countries, agreed to
“facilitate the free flow of educational, scientific and cultural
materials by the removal of barriers that impede the international
movement of such materials,” and antiques were affected by
subsequent legislation adopted in the participating countries to
implement the agreement. The United States, for instance, passed a
new tariff act in 1966 permitting the duty-free importation of
“antiques made prior to 100 years before their date of entry”;
comparable regulations had already gone into effect in other
participating countries. In general usage, antiques frequently are
now defined as objects of artistic and historical significance that
are at least 100 years old.
Antique Collecting The collecting of antiques goes back
almost as far as history, beginning with the preservation of temple
treasures. In England, concern for the historical as well as
aesthetic significance of antiques led, as early as the 16th
century, to collections illustrating the national past. In 1857 the
museum now called the Victoria and Albert opened in London as a
repository for decorative arts, intended to stimulate designers as
well as collectors. It was followed in 1863 by a great public
collection in Vienna, in 1882 by the Museum of Decorative Arts in
Paris, and in 1897 by the Museum of the Arts of Decoration at Cooper
Union School of Art and Architecture in New York City. Collecting
antiques became a truly popular pursuit in the 20th century.
