Item Description
A set of 3 antique acid etched glass doors artistically glazed with an idyllic riverbank scene with birds, crane, foliage, flowers and a church to the central pane. Constructed from pine, the doors are currently finished with old paint which is cream in tone to one side and white on the other. One door is bi-fold.
Often found in Victorian properties and listed buildings, acid etching – or French embossing – is a specialist, time-honoured technique developed in the mid 1800s. This skilled and labour-intensive process involves applying glass with a coating which is then etched with a decorative design and exposed to acid. This exposure corrodes the glass, creating variances of texture and tone. This results in a highly decorative and artistic finish that brings elegance and beauty to any setting.
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. No cracks. Some chips to the paint. Small knocks and abrasions. If desired, these door could be reduced in height by trimming at the base.
