FAMOUS DOORS OF HISTORY
Marvel Of Workmanship Seen on Many
of Those Of Churches Of the
Old World.

Among the famous doors Of history
are the carved wooden doors of the
church of Santa Sabina, Rome, depict
ing in relief, scenes from the Old and
New Testaments. These are one OF
the most remarkable examples of early
Christian sculpture extant.
In the earliest times, as in Babylon,
doors swung ON sockets instead of
hinges.
In Roman days wooden doors were
decorated with bronze and inlaid. and
throughout the Middle ages richly
carved doors Of wood adorned the
churches.
In the Gothic period, wooden doors
were decorated with wrought-iron
hinges which were often elaborated
into intricate ornamentation covering
large part Of the door.
The doors of the cathedral of Notre
Dame in Paris of the Thirteenth cen
fury are the finest examples Of this
class.
During the Renaissance in Germany
and France, deliberately carved doors
were among the most beautiful prod
ucts of wood sculpture.
Some Of the old English doors were
formed Of narrow planks placed side
by side and in dwelling houses gen
orally, in the Middle ages the doors
were small and fairly simple, meant
for strictly practicable purposes and
often provided with some means of
defense.
The doors of the Norman period
were round headed, while with the
Thirteenth century, came the doorway
with the pointed arch and later the
flattened arch. In the case of interior
DOORS splendid old polished mahogany
doors were important features in some
old English homes and there were old
oak doors of wonderful beauty, espe-
cial1y when found In oak-paneled
| rooms.-From the National Lumber
