The drawing room contains one of the property's fine, carved stone fireplaces and linenfold panelling plus notable ceiling treatment. |
The linenfold of France, the Low Countries, and Germany is carved with a sharper definition and greater delicacy than was usual in England and elsewhere. |
Finds included hidden pieces of Elizabethan linenfold panelling, a 17th century fork, musket ball and 1775 penny under the kitchen floorboards. |
In addition to the company's Acanthus motif, designers can mix and match existing panels with grape, oak, leaf, floral, shell and linenfold designs. |
An old door, with its linenfold decoration, is still in place. |
Panelling was frequently decorated with a flat form of ornament called linenfold, or parchment. |
