  • Linenfold Carving - Linenfold carving is a carving style characterized by a pattern of vertical lines and curves that resemble folded linen or cloth. Linenfold carving was used primarily for the decoration of wood panels, which were often used for doors, furniture, and architectural elements such as wainscoting and panelling. The pattern was created by carving a series of shallow, parallel grooves into the wood, which were then smoothed and shaped to resemble folds of cloth.
  • Gothic Style, Furniture - Gothic style furniture refers to pieces that are designed and crafted in the Gothic architectural and decorative style that was popular in Europe from the 12th to the 16th centuries.
