modern door handles

The doors are easy to overlook in the average American home today. They mostly serve a practical purpose and not much else. The doors following are examples to the contrary. In some of these cases, the doors have become their own attractions, separated from the building that forms part.

The Florence Baptistry Doors
In 1401, the Association of wool merchants of Florence announced a contest to see who could come up with the best panels for the north doors of the Baptistery in Florence. The winner of the competition and who was commissioned to work on the doors was a young sculptor named Lorenzo Ghiberti they had to overcome, among other competitors, no less than Filippo Brunelleschi. Ghiberti had 21 years to complete the doors, which are made of gilded bronze panels representing scenes from the New Testament.

The Doors Columbus
The Rotund Columbus doors in the U.S. Capitol Building draw little the inspiration of Ghiberti's Baptistery Doors. Designed by Randolph, Roger and installed in 1863, the doors are 17 feet high, made of bronze and weighs 20,000 pounds. The decorative panels show the journey of Christopher Columbus.

Hohenstein Castle

The design of Germany Hohenstein Castle is an excellent example of medieval architecture. Conceived as a defense post, the castle was built in 1180 and despite the fact that now is a hotel, its doors still reflect its original military purposes. The doors are huge Hohenstein Castle wooden panels reinforced with iron plates and handles to manage that with his sharp, gothic designs, to search for both decorative and threatening.

Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan, in honor of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The famous mausoleum is located in Agra, India and is one of the most emblematic and brightest of Mughal architecture, which combines the techniques and aesthetics of the Islamic Persian and Indian architecture. The gates of the Taj Mahal are many, multi-layered and beautifully decorated. Many of them use marble panels with floral prints overload or paintings.

The Palace of Versailles
The Palace of Versailles was initiated by the decree of Louis XIII, but was made famous by Louis XIV, under whose reign of Versailles became the seat of the French court extravagant decadence of the time. Passageways of Versailles was intended to convey the latest in luxury and wealth, and its gates are like some of the most intricate and advanced design in the world. They are decorated with designs of gold and panels, and often located in marble arches and inlaid with precious stones.

When considering modern door upgrades can be as simple as adding a decorative doorknob. For more ideas on decorative doors, visit http://www.dhshardware.com.
