Linenfold wood panelling

An oak paneled wall. Each upright panel is carved to resemble a draped cloth, with rolled pleats on both sides, and simple finishes at the top and bottom; the panels are arranged side by side, filling the entire wall up to the ceiling or to waist height. The wood color is deep, and the carving is shallow. Avoid: making the paneling flat and uncarved, using square classical moldings for division, making the carving too deep and three-dimensional, or using light-colored wood with a glossy finish.

一面橡木鑲板牆。每一塊直立的板子被雕成像一幅垂下的布,兩側有捲起的褶邊,上下端收成簡單的收頭;板子一塊接一塊排滿整面牆到天花或到腰部。木色深沉,雕刻是淺的。避免:把鑲板做成平板無雕刻、使用方形的古典線板分割、雕刻做得太深太立體、用淺色木材與亮面漆。
