This is quite a door! I like the ornate white with the patch of brass (I hope it isn't gold!).
ReplyDeleteJolis details sur cette porte et les poignees couleur or se detachent bien.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful details in the door.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, over-the-top doorway! Great details!
ReplyDeleteI think in all of the buildings at Versailles, nothing was left to chance...the intricate detail and incredibly skillful craftsmanship have certainly stood the test of time.
ReplyDeleteEven the doors and knobs are elegant! I bet the details area pain to keep dust free, though. ;-)
ReplyDeletebeau détail, je mettrais bien l'œil dans le petit trou de la serrure ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe detail is beautiful. How come we don't have doors like this anymore?
ReplyDeleteIf I could send you an Eagle I would. MB

If someone were to duplicate that door today, I bet it might cost as much as some homes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful details. It is a pity we don't have doors like this anymore.
ReplyDeleteStunning detail shot.
ReplyDeleteCiel, you are so observant. Yes, the image on my site today is the same place I showed a few days ago. It's a series of granite ledges over which the water runs in fascinating configurations.
Quelle beauté dans les details!
ReplyDeleteGunn is right. Style in the best sense of the word.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the white carved flowers, fabulous details!
ReplyDeleteHow elegant and still in great condition after all these years.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous detail!
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful door detail. The metal work is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'd enjoy a visit there. Thanks for visiting the Astoria Column while I was away for a few days. By the way (although this one is very ornate), we would call it a doorknob, because it's round(ish) and you turn it. The door handle to the column is just that - a handle. It doesn't turn, it's open and you hold onto it - it's a handle. I wish I knew enough French to be worried about these distinctions!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous woodwork. The carving is beautiful.

une porte magnifique!
