About the Item

The countless layers of black lacquer that texture these 19th-century doors have aged with a dark patina and an inimitable crackle that only time can achieve. Crafted of northern elm (yumu) and lacquered on both sides, the grand doors were originally installed as the outermost entrance gates to a traditional home in northern China. The graphic marks on each door are likely left from early 20th-century notice postings. The round iron lock plate and ring pulls were made by hand to replace the originals, which were lost over time. Displayed on a custom steel mount, the doors live on as a freestanding sculpture or room divider with incredible texture and history.

This impressive set of doors dates to the turn of the century and originated as the outermost entrance gate to a traditional courtyard home in northern China.

Set of Four Chinese Courtyard Door Panels, c. 1850

Located in Chicago, IL

A hallmark of Chinese architecture, tall door panels such as these were used in provincial courtyard homes to easily open up a room to the outdoors. Designed with solid wood panels instead of lattice windows, these door panels were likely installed facing the street, used to protect the home rather than provide decoration. The doors were originally linked by hinges set in opposite directions, allowing the doors to fold upon themselves as they open. Instead of the elaborate carvings often found on Qing-dynasty doors...
