These screens served a dual purpose in classical Chinese homes: filtering sunlight and air while adding layers of symbolic privacy. The design is a sophisticated, repeating geometric pattern—often referred to as a "broken ice" or simple geometric labyrinth lattice. The symmetry is broken by a central horizontal medallion in each panel, featuring subtle carving. The wood has acquired a deep, rich, oxidized charcoal patina, a testament to years of exposure and handling, making the intricate geometry pop against any light-colored wall.

The perfect mid-range size (30" W x 41" H each) makes these antique lattice panels incredibly flexible for creating visual interest in smaller or more structured spaces. They are ideal for Minimalist, Transitional, and Asian-Inspired interiors. For a bespoke remodel, use these panels to replace the glass or wood fronts of built-in cabinets, kitchen uppers, or a china hutch. The geometric pattern adds an unmatched layer of artisanal sophistication. Or hang the pair side-by-side over a low bench or buffet. Their combined width (60 inches) creates a commanding, horizontal focal point that grounds the space.

Hang them vertically in a narrow hallway. The delicate lattice work adds pattern and texture without feeling heavy, transforming a plain wall into a graphic statement. Secure mounting hardware (not included) is required for safely hanging these panels. See less
