Custom Old World Doors
European architectural style meets American modern design with Portella’s custom old world doors. In the 17th century, the custom designs of old world doors were a symbol of wealth and high social standing. Today, old world doors give homes the perfect mix of old and new. Whether you crave an ornamental style or a distinct simplicity, there is a door for your home.
Our master blacksmiths carefully craft each door to be decorative in style without sacrificing functionality. Your entryway is the first impression of your home, and our old world doors will make your home stand out with an elegant and expressive look.

Old World Doors Details
Portella’s old world doors are custom-made to meet the unique style of your home. Choose from various ornamental details, such as wrought iron elements, overhead windows, iron door knockers, stone sculptures or animal heads. You can also choose from Grecian motifs such as triglyphs, canals, drops, arabesques, foliation, garlands and acanthus from the neo-classicism style introduced in the second half of the 18th century.
