Lot 293: A Set of Three Four-Panel Internal Timber Doors
This lot comprises three matching internal timber doors, each featuring a classic four-panel configuration. The construction is solid timber with a stained finish. Each door is designed with two tall vertical panels in the upper section and two shorter vertical panels in the lower section, separated by a horizontal mid-rail. The panels are set within moulded surrounds. The joinery employs mortise and tenon construction, typical of internal domestic doors from the late 19th or early 20th Century. One door retains a recessed mortise for a lock mechanism and pre-drilled holes for a handle rose. The side and top edges show the grain of the solid timber and evidence of previous installation. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the items.
Condition report:
The doors show signs of extensive wear and environmental exposure. The stained finish is heavily worn, faded, and uneven across all surfaces, with significant finish loss and scuffing. Numerous scratches and small chips are visible on the faces and edges of the rails and stiles. Visible white paint splatters and droplets are present on the faces and edges of all three doors (photo 1 and 3). There is a build-up of old paint or filler along some of the joinery lines and panel edges (photo 2). The original handles and locks have been removed, leaving open mortises and screw holes. One edge shows splintering and an uneven finish (photo 3).
