Pair of 18th Century Qing Dynasty Chinese Courtyard Doors

About the Item

A pair of late 18th century Qing Dynasty Chinese courtyard doors in hand forged iron and painted elm wood (yumu) . These were once the main entrance to a Siheyuan, a single extended family’s rectangular dwelling with a central garden. By tradition, the southeast facing doors of the family compound would also feature some symbol of good luck or an identifying mark of the clan. These richly patinated and yellow ochre doors bear mirroring images of the Monkey King, who in ancient lore borrowed a magical plantain fan from the demon Raksasi. This fan had the power to blow one’s enemies away and to extinguish even the fiercest flames, making it an effectively potent talisman for the front gate of the home. Measure 85” high, 50” wide (25” each 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. 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...
