Old Yumu Window Shutter & Frame (Set Of 4) - 19th Century Planters bound with iron and datesCrafted from yumu (northern elm), this 19th century Chinese window shutter set retains its original architectural frame. The four shutters are arranged side by side, each with a geometric lattice design of vertical and horizontal bars, a pattern typical of late Qing domestic joinery. The surface has developed a muted, weathered patina through long use, highlighting the grain and character of the elm. Originally fitted to a traditional home in Shanxi
