Viking Inspired Cathedral Door: Built In Historically Correct Hand And Craft

Viking inspired cathedral door

We handcrafted all of our solid wood doors from genuine, full length timber. We never use any type of faux wood, laminates, or veneers because fine art is never made with low quality materials.

This design is inspired by the door at Stillingfleet Church in Yorkshire, England. This famous door from the year 1185 is England's oldest working door, and is know for its unique, Viking ironwork. In modern times, award winning artist H.J. Nick has created this design inspired by the Stillingfleet door, and created the breathtaking Viking inspired cathedral door pictured above. This modern masterpiece is not a reproduction, but is built using the same methods and materials that were used nearly 1000-years-ago to create the original. H.J. Nick travels the world studying historic architecture, observing not only the design itself, but how these historic buildings were made, and what they were made from. It is his belief that using the correct techniques and materials from the era is essentially when creating a historically inspired design as a work of fine art.

At ArtFactory.com we believe in building furniture and doors that are not something that you just use for a few years and then throw away. Building items that are disposable is a practice that is unique to the past fifty years. In the old world, when a piece of furniture was built, it was built from solid, natural materials by master craftsmen. Most importantly, it was built to last forever. Something like a solid wood entrance door would be passed down through a family for generations along with the home that was also built to last forever. With this handcrafted Viking inspired cathedral door, we have carried that tradition of built to last craftsmanship into the 21st century. This type of product cannot be build overnight, or with low quality materials. That is why we use the highest quality, full length, solid timber, and build it by hand, using the age old, tried and tested method of mortise and tenon joineryThis type materials and construction makes for a custom door that will stand the test of time.

The handmade Viking ironwork is what makes both the original design, and our Viking inspired cathedral door a unique work of art. These representations of a Viking ship and other signs are meant to act as charms. Each hardware piece on our door is genuine hand hammered, fire forged wrought iron, made the same way that would have been done by a Viking master blacksmith in the 12th century. Our decorative hardware products are never cast copied, drop forged, or mass produced. Every product is individually hammered into shape by hand so that each is a one-of-a-kind, never to be reproduced work of fine art. Furthermore, our custom hardware products are all finished using our proprietary iron oxide advance patination process. This process infuses a hand applied patina to the metal at over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes for a vibrantly colored finish that will stand the test of time with little or no maintenance.

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.
