Set of Four Chinese Floral Lattice Panels, 19th C.

About the Item

A hallmark of Qing-dynasty domestic architecture, tall lattice panels such as these were used in provincial courtyard homes to allow light and air into a room whilst maintaining privacy. Crafted in the 19th century, this set of four lattice door panels from Shanxi province goes beyond the purely functional with a colorful polychromed finish and delicate floral carvings set within the expansive lattice windows. Evoking the charm of a rural courtyard home, the tall panels feature rectangular window panels of geometric lattice inset with round floral carvings of chrysanthemums and peonies, symbols of longevity and prosperity. The surrounding inset wood panels are finished with layers of the original blue-green lacquer and faded traces of the original paintings of vases filled with peonies and plum blossoms. Set of four panels. Dimensions listed describe an individual panel.

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.

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...
