lattice window

Grid-patterned glass frame

A lattice window has a framework of crossed strips—wood, metal, or lead—forming a diagonal or square grid pattern, with glass panes or open spaces between.

Common in Tudor and medieval architecture, lattice windows appear decorative but originally allowed light while maintaining privacy or structural support: Morning sun filtered through the lattice window.
