Description
Item/Description: A substantial, heavy-gauge cast bronze architectural salvage doorplate designed for a grand estate entryway or commercial double doors. Front features a highly detailed, relief-cast central medallion depicting a regal lion's head. Lion medallion is flanked symmetrically by upper and lower scrolling plates showcasing elegant, stylized cutouts, and a smooth, unadorned border texture. Top and bottom terminals terminate in integrated circular loops designed to receive a heavy, vertical wooden or metal pull-rod assembly. Reverse side reveals a solid, flat-cast back consistent with period foundry methods, complete with a central mounting threaded stud hole to secure the lion medallion hardware firmly to the door structure.
