Chinese Painted lattice Window From Shanxi - 19th Century

This beautifully aged Chinese lattice window showcases the refined craftsmanship of late-Qing artisans, carved from rich, time-worn elm wood with its original painted panels still softly visible beneath the patina. The upper section features a classic geometric lattice, allowing filtered light to pass through, while the lower panels retain traces of folk-figure paintings and floral motifs—each one softened by generations of use.

With its architectural framing and sculpted panelwork, this window makes a striking wall feature or can be incorporated into creative interior design projects. The robust frame speaks to its traditional joinery, offering both decorative richness and historical character.
