Last episode of this series dedicated to Tunisian doors where I will talk about the last bourgeois homes that have become rare pearls!

In the heart of my city of Nabeul, many old houses disappear in favour of modern houses but without charm or authenticity, many have turned into guest houses like Dar R’bat or Dar Sabri, others have been transformed into shops of souvenirs or objects made in China like Dar Machat, still others are for sale like Dar Abdelmoula, other houses are still inhabited like Dar Ben Amor or uninhabited after the death of their owners but their descending preserve them jealously as is the case of Dar Tabbena which here is the main facade!
In traditional medium, the door and the facade of the bourgeois houses are called in connection with the frame to indicate of the one who lives it! The door is often of an imposing size and a frame of stone of square or rectangular shape in which is inscribed a bow which will be framing the door itself. The decor isn’t specific to the door; the frame may contain decorative elements such as a rose, a flower with stem, a crescent or a star. Generally, only the entrance door is embedded in an arc-shaped frame
The tradition of doors decorated with nails was brought in part by the Andalusians. Tunisians have adopted this art and these painted doors are one of the characteristic elements of the decor, they added their specific touch that has become a real work of art!
The main door reflects the exterior image of the house and its occupants. It must have a harmonious and neat aesthetic. The materials that compose it must be of choice. The door also marks the border between the public domain and the private.

Today, I will begin a cycle reserved for the traditional Tunisian doors, an art with us, with its aesthetic side and its symbols to be dissected.
At the moment, the beautiful traditional Tunisian doors are generally present in the streets of each medina. At each turn of alleys, one meets different doors with a harmonious aesthetic and neat.
The traditional Tunisian door allows access to the dwelling by a portal with two leaves, with a stone arch sometimes surmounted by a broken arch with two-tone keys and flanked by two marble columns.
If the tradition is that they are blue, the wooden studded doors can also be white or yellow .A tradition that was brought in part by the Andalusians; Are often black and joined together to form stylized geometric or floral motifs; the sophistication of the drawing of the nails reveals the social level of the occupants.
The drawings are symmetrical vertically from one leaf to another. On the top of the doors an arched keystone is often painted in black and white. The general framework is itself other stone.
The traditional Tunisian door contains three knockers, two big ones and a small one located at a lower height: so with the sound of the knocker, the inhabitants of the house will be able to distinguish if the one who knocks on the door is a man, a woman or a child.
The right knocker can be pierced with an entry gate for daily use. In this case the large door is reserved for ceremonies.
The vestibule that leads the door articulates at right angles and allows filtering the looks from the outside.
The main gate also marks the boundary between public and private property and reflects the exterior image of the dwelling and its occupants. The doors are made of olive wood or palm, according to the means of the owners of the house, indeed they testify to the Tunisian know-how in craftsmanship.

This photo is stuck in a dead end in Sidi Bou Said, representing two typically stylish doors, which we call at home the Sidi Bou Said Style, recognizable with the color blue and on the top of the doors an arched keystone is often painted in black and white.

Good Evening My dear friends! I wish you a Happy weekend with yours!
