Vintage Wood French Doors with Matching Transom – 10-Lite Glass Panels

Description :
This exceptional set of vintage French doors with its original transom embodies early 20th-century architectural craftsmanship. Each door features ten divided glass panes framed in solid wood with mortise-and-tenon joinery, and the matching transom continues the same divided-light pattern for a cohesive, elegant look. The doors measure approximately 25 ¼" W x 93" H x 1 ¾" D each, while the transom measures 52 ½" W x 36 ¼" H x 1 ¾" D. The original metal weatherstripping remains intact, showcasing quality hardware and durable millwork. A few panes are missing (one from a door, one from the transom), presenting an easy restoration project for collectors or designers. With its extra-tall height, authentic materials, and unified design, this set is ideal for luxury restorations or custom residential installations where period character is essential.
