Custom Handmade Double Arched Door with Transom Decorative iron Glass - DD7892

Description

Timeless Strength Meets Museum-Quality Craftsmanship

At ArtFactory.com, every monumental door is a tribute to the great architectural legacies of Europe—from Romanesque abbeys to Gothic cathedrals, medieval fortress gates, and Renaissance basilicas. Designed by master builder H.J. Nick, these doors blend old-world artistry with 21st-century engineering for heirloom-quality entries built to last forever.

Handcrafted from naturally air-cured, old-growth cedar cypress, our church doors feature:

A massive 4-inch thick solid timber core
3" x 1" rabbited stops
4–8 inch deep structural jambs designed to support the building itself

“Our jamb holds up the structure—not the other way around.” – H.J. Nick

These doors exceed twice the hurricane code requirements of Dade County, FL, where the world’s most extreme wind loads are tested. They are signed, certified, and backed by over a century of master craftsmanship.

Every contour reflects the balance and harmony found in Europe's greatest religious and civic architecture.

Historical Echoes:

Romanesque Roots: Thick, rounded arches like Saint-Trophime, Arles
Gothic Influence: Iron scrollwork akin to Chartres Cathedral
Medieval Fortresses: Fortress-style builds of Burg Eltz, Germany
Renaissance Elegance: Refined finishes reminiscent of Santa Maria della Consolazione, Italy

Lasting Performance.

Sealing: 1-inch rabbited stops + premium commercial-grade rubber for full air & water protection
Wood Stability: Seasoned naturally over years; once installed, doors settle into a “memory fit”—warp-free, lifetime operation
Wood Finish: Multi-layer fuming and hand-rubbed oil finish—no synthetic sprays. Maintenance requires only boiled linseed oil (exterior) or any aromatic oil (interior). The wood breathes and ages naturally, like fine antiques.
Iron Finish: Fire-cured patinas that never flake or peel. A light oiling maintains their museum-quality appearance.
These are living finishes, growing richer with age and care.
