Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.

A mchine translation fo the original french description = not edited: [a 17th C Door, Presbytery of the Church of Saint Michel at Gaillac, Dept. Tarn] The construction of this door and the system of its decoration are very simple, very simple indeed, if we compare these juxtaposed planks, armed with reinforcements, to the doors of the 15th century, with their straightforward frames, their narrow interlocking panels, and their decoration so loyal, so honestly showing an honest and good construction. But framed doors were most often reserved for the interiors of monuments, while reinforced plank doors were more usually used to close off the bays of exterior doors. In Gaillac, each of the door's three divisions is made up of a single plank, to which stiles and rails have been applied to form regular panels. These reinforcing pieces give greater strength to the boards, which warp and twist much less than they would without this reinforcement, and it's a relatively inexpensive process. Large round-headed nails attach the reinforcement to the door boards in Gaillac. Pilasters fixed on the rebates of the door leaves act as beams , These pilasters are held in place, like the frame, by nails with richer heads. All the nails are part of the decoration.
