Four doors with trims and one set of entre-portes

Paintings in the manner of Ambrosius Hörmannstorfer German
ca. 1730–35
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.
