Four doors with trims and one set of entre-portes

Jean François Cuvilliés the Elder German, born Belgian
 Paintings in the manner of Ambrosius Hörmannstorfer German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 533

These doors show similarities to the decoration in the Reichenzimmer, a suite of rooms in the Residenz in Munich designed by Cuvillies, and it is thought that they may have come from the Residenz. The doors were most likely shortened at some point.
