Mahogany Entryways

Brooklyn Heights Landmark District.

A single entry with sidelights, finished in a bold color and framed by leaf-and-dart molding and deep architectural detailing.

A clear example that strong proportions, contrast, and craftsmanship are enough. ♥️

Gothic arch detailing in white oak.

Shown here in plain sawn grain, paired with a restrained raised panel below and a subtle Gothic expression in the glass. It is easy to understand why this was the material of choice in the late 1800s.

Egg-and-dart molding frames the glazing, reinforcing the classical detailing.

The large glass panel increases natural light while maintaining traditional proportions and architectural clarity.

A controlled and balanced architectural composition.

85 Worth Street, Tribeca.

Located directly across from the mysterious, windowless AT&T Long Lines Building, this storefront reflects a commercial style common throughout Tribeca and SoHo.

Ten-foot doors with rounded glazed panels and pronounced molded surrounds maintain the historic proportions of the facade.

Located in the SoHo Cast Iron District, this large white storefront was fabricated to restore the building’s cast-iron base, replicating the historic moldings and full-height display windows.

Located in the heart of SoHo, surrounded by historic buildings and cobblestone streets, this storefront was designed to complement its architectural context.

The 10-foot entry doors were constructed at 3 inches thick to ensure long-term structural stability. Fabricated in engineered mahogany, the assembly provides both strength and durability, built to endure for another century.

Historic replication at a 10 foot scale.

Custom arched entry in Honduran mahogany.

A custom entryway designed to complement the architecture of Brooklyn Heights.

An intrinsic expression of late 1800s and early 1900s design.

From rounded columns and faceted triangular motifs to substantial applied moldings and carved ornament, every element reflects the architectural vocabulary of its era. The panel extension jamb and corresponding vestibule door were faithfully replicated to preserve the integrity and layered composition characteristic of the period.

A faithful replication, crafted in our shop, is now available at the Then & Now Windows showroom in New York City’s Financial District.

Remsen Street, Brooklyn Heights.

Within New York City’s first landmark district, historic facades remain while interiors evolve.

Crafted in Honduran mahogany, this entry honors the architectural integrity of the original mansion while adapting to a new chapter of city living.

Ten feet of geometry and light.

Solid mahogany shaped to hold stained glass in perfect balance, allowing warmth, symmetry, and craftsmanship to meet in a single composition.

Others define it.
