notes: label: Description
content: A matched pair of swinging bar doors. The doors are wood with a natural, glossy varnish, and are louvered with fixed slats. The upper edge of each door curves upward towards the center edge, so that the inner height of the doors is greater than the outer height, where the doors would mount into the door frame. When mounted, the doors would swing freely and do not have any hooks or fasteners. The doors have metal mounting hardware on the upper and lower corners of the outer edges.
