A pair of antique Moroccan double doors in the refined Andalusi painted tradition. The four-panel composition is built around symmetrical "tree of life" floral compositions: tall mirrored vertical fields in the upper panels, and tree-of-life arrangements crowned by painted horseshoe arches in the lower panels. The botanical drawing is naturalistic and refined — recognizable flowers, leaves, pomegranates, and lotus blossoms rendered in the soft Tetouan palette of antique rose, forest green, indigo, ivory, and honey gold against the warm aged wood ground.

The patina is exceptional — the paint has weathered into a soft frescoed surface that reads as if painted into the wood rather than over it. Decorative brass studs run across the top and middle banding and the original hand-forged iron slide-bolt latch retains its full character.

A collector-grade architectural artifact where the painting quality alone justifies the listing. Ideal as the defining statement piece for a grand entryway, gallery installation, library, private collection, or any setting where the door is intended to hold its own among serious art on the walls. Equally suited to traditional Andalusi, Tetouan, Spanish colonial, and high-end Mediterranean interiors.
