The glazed panels are overlaid at the top with a trio of ‘C’ shaped scrolls forming an arch. applied to the top outer corners of the doors are long elaborately carved and scrolled corbels. As an indication of quality the inner door surfaces and the central divider are polished and the inner door moldings are screwed rather than nailed.
