High-Gloss Period Front Door Restoration

This period front door was prepared and refinished to recover the depth and reflective character of a traditional high-gloss entrance. The glazed panels were carefully masked while the mouldings, recessed panels and edges were worked by hand to achieve an even finish. Existing decorative ironwork, including the letter plate and central door fitting, was retained to preserve the character of the original door.
