Slate Cottage front door

Slate Cottage front door

This 10cm by 10cm slate cottage door sits beautifull on two black feet, so you may display it where you choose.  

This piece of art is hand designed and created to replicate the traditional values of the simple and rustic life of rural Ireland. 

The traditional Irish cottage split front door, also known as a "half door," is a charming feature steeped in both practicality and cultural heritage. These unique doors, divided horizontally, allowed the top half to be opened while the bottom remained closed. This design was a clever solution for letting fresh air and light into the cottage while keeping animals out and small children safely inside.

Beyond its practicality, the half door embodies the warmth and hospitality of Irish life. It created a threshold where neighbors could pause to chat or share a story without fully stepping inside, fostering a sense of community. Today, the split front door stands as a symbol of the cozy, welcoming spirit of Irish cottages and a nostalgic nod to simpler times when homes were filled with the sounds of nature and the laughter of loved ones.
