WHAT DOES BOISERIE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

boiserie

Panelling

Panelling is a wall covering constructed from rigid or semi-rigid components. These are traditionally interlocking wood, but could be plastic or other materials. Panelling was developed in antiquity to make rooms in stone buildings more comfortable. The panels served to insulate the room from the cold stone. In more modern buildings, such panelling is often installed for decorative purposes. Panelling, such as wainscoting and boiserie in particular, may be extremely ornate and is particularly associated with seventeenth and eighteenth century interior design, Victorian architecture in Britain, and its international contemporaries.

Definition of boiserie in the English dictionary

The definition of boiserie in the dictionary is finely-sculptured wood panelling or wainscoating, particularly in 18th century French architecture.
