Pair of Chinese Turned Square Courtyard Panels, c. 1850

About the Item

Designing the intricate patterning of these 19th century northern Chinese lattice panels was like solving a puzzle. Skilled craftsmen pieced together handcut lengths of wood, precisely interlocking them to create a repeating diamond pattern. Linear yet open, the pattern was designed to let light and air into a room while maintaining privacy. Aristocratic homes in Provincial China often had spacious, neutral interiors, making screens like these an elegant way of defining living spaces. Dimensions listed describe an individual panel.
