Adorned Door

Ornate Door, Harleston Village, Charleston, SC

Wrought iron gates aren't the only things to have decorative patterns in Charleston. 
Ornamentation adorns old wooden doors and letter slots too.

  4. Very beautiful indeed. This reminds me of the door I posted of the Farmers and Exchange Bank on Feb. 25 on my blog. The ironwork is masterful in so many old doors here in Charleston!

  5. Amazing. Even the smallest and innocent of objects has a chance for a bot of class.

  7. Hi Doug. Thx for supplying the image data of your previous shot. Your blog is a wonderful source of ideas for me. Sorry to hear about the plague of pterodactyls afflicting Charlestone of late, thx for my Sunday morning chuckle. Love the ornate fleur de lis scroll decorations on this door panel. The letter slot may be a thing of the past. Unfortunately we have had a plague of bills through ours so I boarded it up.

  12. I saw a documentary about The Manor of More, a lost palace built by Thomas Wosley on TV this afternoon.
    An ornate column discovered on the site looks just like this door!
