The complete decorative units of 10 panels each, could be assembled, then installed as a 10-panel length of trim, A paneling/carving/moulding machine (ancestor of the router) could produce the panels. A tenoning machine could cut the tenins on the dividers and a planer/matcher cut the grooves into which the panels slide.
