This decorative panel features a crisply executed diagonal lattice field framed by elegant scrollwork along the edges and five small applied floral bosses. Tool marks and slight irregularities in the scrolls indicate hand forging consistent with early 19th‑century Charleston South Carolina ironwork. Surface shows layered paint loss and even rust patina that preserves the piece’s historic character.
