That means built in the same hand and materials that Lavirotte used over a century ago. This makes for a unique, fine art quality product that is built to investment standards with future antiquity value. These doors are not machine made, mass produced, of made using any kind of fast process. This means that your custom door will be built by the hands of our master craftsmen, and never built by machine or mass produced.
Not only are our doors built individually by the hands of master craftsmen, but are also constructed from only the highest quality, all natural materials. This includes full length, naturally air dried, American timber, energy efficient, dual pane glass, and solid blacksmith forged, wrought iron hardware. That means that all of our handles and hardware are built by the hands of classically trained blacksmiths, using hammer and anvil over a coal fired forge. Furthermore, all of our custom doors are built using mortise and tenon joinery for construction that will stand the test of time.

Like all of our security grills, these are at the forefront of both style and security. We make custom grills in any size, style or design, and to fit any application. These custom grills are hand hammered into shape by master blacksmiths over a coal fired forge. Blacksmith hand forged wrought iron makes for a grill that provides an unmatched level of security.

The intricately designed Art Nouveau double doors are the work of our world class design department, and in house senior engineers. All of our products are designed, and built under the direction of award winning artist H.J. Nick. Every product is signed and certified as world class fine art quality by H.J. Nick, before it leaves our world class factory. This type of certification ensures that your product has appreciable value in antiquity as fine art. We never use particle board, laminates, veneers, or any other type of faux wood because fine art is never made with cheap materials. Don't settle for cheaply made, mass production doors sold at big box retailers that will need to be replaced every few years.
Art Nouveau Double Doors Hand Rubbed Stain Finish Details
The meticulous finish has been done in age old technique, using a 23-step hand rubbed process. We begin with fine hand sanding, and infused open grain hand applied stains. That puts the finish in the wood not just sprayed on it. This allows for the fine natural wood grains to show to perfection. There are then 20 additional steps requiring the application of wax, oils and lacquers with curing times between each process. This method is performed on all furniture and door wood surfaces inside and out. This tried and tested finish detail is required in the making of a one-of-a-kind, family heirloom quality product that meets world class investment quality standards that will stand the test of time. This process is the only way with little maintenance and the simple process of cleaning with oil will allow for a beautiful natural patina that will make this door more beautiful over time.
It is our belief that our combination of top quality materials and master hand craftsmanship allow us to offer a quality of product that is unmatched anywhere, at any price. In fact, we are so confident in the quality of our products and craftsmanship that we guarantee everything forever.

Art Nouveau Door Historical Design Inspiration
Jules Lavirotte studied at the Ecole nationale superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the most prestigious art school in France. His building at 3 Square Rapp is an unusual mixture of architectural pieces including a turret and individually styled balconies where no two are the same. His whimsical approach to the wrought ironwork on all of his buildings is well known and he included that ironwork in his doors. The flamboyance of the Art Nouveau style combined with his daring and intricate designs makes all of his work unique and recognizable.This Art Nouveau wine cellar door is artist H.J. Nick's modern interpretation of of one of Jules Lavirotte's most famous doors. Inspired by the door found at 3 Square Rapp in Paris, France, this modern, art nouveau style door is sure to turn some heads. Lavirotte, who is famous for his flamboyant, Art Nouveau style of architecture, built the original door and building in 1899.
We took that ironwork and art nouveau style of his door and adapted it to a more modern doorway shape and size while keeping the inspiration in the forefront. Our master blacksmiths created the delicate curly cues without making them overbearing, letting the flow of the door lead your eye. The hand forged door pulls fit seamlessly into the swirls of the door and our carvers' work. Celebrate your whimsical side and being a little bit of Paris home with you with this door as the grand entrance to your home.
