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.
