In my experience, standard interior French doors are usually no wider
than 6' nor taller than 6'8"; though I have seen some 8' wide exterior
types that wouldn't be suitable as a room divider. Anything else is
going to be a custom made job. That's the trouble with those decorating
magazines and sites, they don't have to worry about the budget you or I
have. ;-)
Can't help you with a source, we always just drooled and then did
something else.
You might look into Shoji style or sliding panel doors, they might do
the trick for you.
