Boiserie is the French term for decorative carved wooden wall panelling, traditionally used to enrich the interiors of grand houses and palaces during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Often painted, gilded or left in its natural timber finish, boiserie features elegant mouldings, carved ornament and classical detailing that create a sense of architectural refinement. Today, both original and reproduction boiserie remain highly desirable for adding timeless elegance and character to period-inspired interiors.
