Metal Doorplate for Church 1850 - 1900

This anonymous 19th-century design for a metal doorplate is a beautiful example of Gothic Revival style architecture. The intricate details and decorative elements, such as the stylized foliate motifs and the slender vertical lines, were popular in the 19th century, drawing inspiration from the Middle Ages. It was likely designed for a church or other religious building, as seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
