Ideas for a Persian Door?
Hi, I recently purchased this Persian door. I'd like to paint it but dont know what color to use. I was thinking distressing with white and gold leafing - and then coloring the inner metal a bronzy gold. I'd like to add a pop of color somewhere but unsure. Please assist.

Blues appear to be used a lot Persian items. But pink and red are big too.
Are you intending the door to be used as a functioning door, or as just a decoration only?
Where will the door be used after painting it- outdoors, or indoors only?
Here you'll find many, many images of painted Persian doors. I'm sure you'll find color schemes here that will work for you!

The only thing I would consider would be if the detailed areas would be too intricate (or take too long for my own patience lol!) to be painted properly. It looks as though the scroll work on yours is very tiny and not cut very deeply, which would make the project pretty "fiddle-y" for me personally.
Yes, definitely keep in mind where the door will be used so that your paints are the right ones for exterior, etc. Good luck and post your project for us! 😎
What a beautiful door! Are you planning to use it inside or out?
JUST CLEAN AND PRESERVE DONT PAINT
Don't paint it! maybe a stain or a wash...
Its so beautiful, i would be afraid to paint it! It would look great as is just sealed I think, but I do think white/gold would be beautiful as well. Is it going to be wall art? What would match your decor? I know I love that found architectural salvage look!
I would not paint it .. just refresh a stain a bit and highlight a bit with gold leafing ?
I love the natural look!
I agree, cleaning it up gently and preserving it as is would be my preference, keep its value, but if you're intent on painting it, it'll depend on where you plan to have the door.
With the colors your suggesting maybe blue for your extra color?
