This cast metal jali screen belongs to De Ferranti’s collection of pierced screens in marble, sandstone, metal and wood, with ornament developed to suit individual commissions. Previous uses include dividing screens, window grilles, ornate gates, air-conditioning and speaker grilles, and furniture. Custom jali designs can also combine pierced work with coloured glass to alter transmitted light. A patination service is available, allowing the metal finish to be considered as part of the wider interior palette.

Pinwheel Geometry in a Cast Metal Jali Screen

The featured panel has a dark finish and a square outer frame divided into four equal compartments. Within each section, broad diagonal bands turn around a central square opening, producing a repeated pinwheel effect. The pattern is comparatively open, with large areas of negative space, so it reads less like a dense lattice and more like a strongly drawn geometric grille. The substantial frame and internal bars give the piece a deliberately robust visual character.

The Cast Solid Brass Pierced Screen offers a more ornate botanical metal treatment, while the Black Marble Pierced Screen Jali – Model A translates bold geometry into stone.

Other relevant metal work includes Architectural Elements in Metal and the related Etched Jali, which provides another interpretation of jali-inspired metal surface work.

Grilles, Screens and Integrated Metalwork

For project specification, panel size, frame construction, finish, fixing and the intended degree of openness should be resolved together. The live product data lists applications including balustrades, grilles, screens, staircases, furniture and external use in all climates. Final exterior suitability should nevertheless be confirmed against the selected metal, finish, location and fixing system. Where the screen is integrated with joinery or ventilation, coordination drawings can help establish clearances and edge details.
