Swinging doors from Muse Bar, the home bar of Isaiah Muse

Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A matched pair of swinging bar doors. The doors are wood with a natural, glossy varnish, and are louvered with fixed slats. The upper edge of each door curves upward towards the center edge, so that the inner height of the doors is greater than the outer height, where the doors would mount into the door frame. When mounted, the doors would swing freely and do not have any hooks or fasteners. The doors have metal mounting hardware on the upper and lower corners of the outer edges.
