Hi Jenifer,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
These are lovely but I don't know that it makes sense to sell all 14 together - perhaps as pairs would be an easier sell - the same buyer could buy as many pairs as they like.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
Seven pairs of Art Deco bronze elevator doors
