About this Item
Notes
In the Georgian era, glass was expensive and only available in small panes. Astragal-glazed doors are doors fitted with glass panels that are divided into smaller panes by slender wooden mouldings called astragals. These were not structural, purely decorative, creating a refined architectural look.
