[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 2054191, member: 5170"]Need to see the inside of the door (and the inside in general!) Since this piece is Renaissance Revival, I would guess that the crest/pediment would be triangular in shape. Perhaps it would be a high central keystone with scrolls on each side with acroteria or a split acanthus leaf at each end. The best way to be certain is to get on a stepladder and look for dowel holes on which the crest would have been mounted. My feeling is that this is American, not only because it's in Oregon (right?), but because the craftsmanship looks to be upper U.S Midwest, like Michigan, Ohio, etc. Actually it could be from any of the better cabinet makers across the country. I think Aquitaine's idea on how to utilize the piece is quite probable.[/QUOTE]
