Each panel measures an impressive 19.5 inches wide and 81.5 inches high, offering a commanding vertical presence and a captivating visual experience. Originating from China, these panels are exquisitely crafted from solid wood, featuring a deep, rich painted finish that speaks volumes about their journey through time. The most striking elements are the central sections of intricate open lattice work, meticulously carved to create delicate geometric patterns that allow light and shadow to play beautifully. These lattice designs are a hallmark of traditional Chinese architecture and interior design, often found in screens, doors, and windows of imperial palaces, temples, or wealthy homes.

Adding to their grandeur, each panel is adorned with a prominent central decorative medallion. These medallions often depict auspicious animals, mythical beasts (such as dragons or phoenixes), or symbolic floral motifs, all deeply significant in Chinese culture and believed to bring good fortune and protection. The precision of the carving, combined with the timeless appeal of the dark wood and subtle patina, makes this pair a testament to masterful craftsmanship.

Use this antique pair of lattice panels as dramatic wall art, a unique headboard or room divider.
