Set of Six Courtyard Lattice Panels

The sweeping elegance of these six 19th-century courtyard doors, with their intricate lattice panels, hides the mathematical brilliance required to create them. The panels evoke life in a traditional courtyard home, where the openwork allowed light and air to flow into the inner rooms while maintaining privacy for its occupants. Creating lattice was a geometric puzzle; this floral and quadrilobe design was made by the precise interlocking of long and short pieces of carved wood. The bottom of each is finished with solid, knotty panels.
