Oldest Door

It's always a pleasure to get a commisison for a piece of furniture that somebody wants to one day hand down to their great grandchildren. It's obviously not the cheapest as the materials have to be the best available and most importantly the construction process has to be very sound, but its also a very interesting process design wise, as it has to transcend current aesthetics, be timeless.
Anyway, I digress. Really looking forward to finding out more about this 5000 year old door,  recently found under the streets of Zurich which according to the chief archaeologist, "is solid and elegant, with well-preserved hinges and a remarkable design for holding the boards together".
