The countless layers of black lacquer that texture these 19th-century doors have aged with a dark patina and an inimitable crackle that only time can achieve. Crafted of northern elm (yumu) and lacquered on both sides, the grand doors were originally installed as the outermost entrance gates to a traditional home in northern China. The graphic marks on each door are likely left from early 20th-century notice postings. The round iron lock plate and ring pulls were made by hand to replace the originals, which were lost over time. Displayed on a custom steel mount, the doors live on as a freestanding sculpture or room divider with incredible texture and history.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
