Chinese Lattice Wall Panel

About the Item

This elegant wall lattice once fit inside tracks in the floor and ceiling for easy removal. Though visually simple, close inspection reveals the lattice to be finely beveled with a sharply pointed primary side and a flat back side. Though lattice walls were common in China, this one is somewhat unusual in its shortness and heaviness. The piece is covered in natural black tree lacquer. The piece is from Shanxi province and dates to the 19th century. It was once part of a large set of panels that enclosed a courtyard. Only two of the panels were salvageable and this one is the last available. The panel is decorative on its own but offers interesting possibilities to divide space in a room (possibly with added framing) or placement on a wall as a backdrop for photography or other art.

  • Pediment Wood Carving
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This Teakwood pediment carving came from a Northern Thai house. Pediment carvings were part of the traditional architecture system and were found under overhanging roof gables. We know it was a residential roof (and not a temple's) because of the shallow angle. Temple roofs are much steeper and usually temple exteriors were painted, so some pigment would usually remain, particularly towards the top. Thai houses were made from solid teak --walls, roofs, floors; everything. They were always raised on stilts to remain above seasonal flooding, snakes and other forest creatures. The area below the house was used for animals and storage. The Thai architectural wall system (including pediments) always employed heavy beams and thin floating panels. Visually these wall panels are very attractive and richly textured on account of exposure to moisture. Teak is very resistant to moisture and insects, so the lifespan of teak exterior parts can be over 150 years. The antique pediment...
