Fire-Damaged Oak Entry Door with Cracked Plexiglass Panel and Iron Hardware (Z)

Description : This tall oak door features a full-length panel opening originally designed for leaded or beveled glass, currently occupied by cracked plexiglass. The door exhibits significant fire damage to one face, primarily affecting the veneer, which has bubbled and darkened in multiple areas. Despite the damage, it retains detailed original millwork and a decorative cast iron handle with a baroque-style backplate, partially intact and aged to a deep patina. A substantial piece requiring restoration, this door holds strong potential for adaptive reuse in artistic, architectural, or decorative contexts.
