Wainscoting: Rectangular Panels and Round Medallions

A Neoclassical wainscoting. The lower part of the wall is divided into equally wide rectangular panels by fine moldings, with right angles at each corner of the panels; some panels have a circular or oval bas-relief medallion in the center, containing a simplified human profile or a floral ornament. The panels are vertically oriented, with an aspect ratio of approximately 2:3. All are painted white or a light color matching the wall. Avoid: using asymmetrical and irregular divisions, making each panel a different size, adding Rococo shell scrolls, making the moldings with undulating curved profiles.

一段新古典的護牆板。牆的下段被細木線腳分成等寬的長方形格子,每一格的四角是直角;有些格子的中央有一個圓形或橢圓形的浮雕獎章,裡面是簡化的人像側面或一朵花飾。格子的比例是直立的,寬高比約二比三。全部漆成白色或與牆同色的淺色。避免:使用不對稱與不規則的分割、讓每一格的尺寸不同、加入洛可可的貝殼捲飾、把線腳做成有起伏曲面的斷面。
