Alpine Chalet interior doors

Wood-lined Stuben, carved and painted pine, and benches built into the walls.

The room was organized around fixed furniture. Benches ran along the walls and met in a corner, where the family table stood, and in Catholic regions a crucifix hung above it in the corner known as the Herrgottswinkel. Ceilings were boarded or coffered, doors were heavy plank or paneled constructions, and cupboards were often built into the paneling.

Interior doors reflect a house's period through their panel layout, glazing and casing. Five-panel doors, French doors, linenfold panels and Deco inlay each belong to a different moment.
