The French call it boiserie. Boiserie (often used in the plural boiseries) is a decoration based on covering walls with wooden panels, variously inlaid, carved and engraved.
The earliest examples of boiseries were real inlays, the creations of master craftsmen, but later painted panels were often used instead of inlays.
Boiseries were much desired in France in near 17th century for interior decoration. At the palace of Versailles you will find various examples of such decoration type.
Panels were often used not only to decorate walls but also doors, partitions and separates. It was the splendour of maximalism, the blaze of excess and decoration. In furniture as in clothing, paintings were often set into the panelling, which therefore acted as a frame for the painting or bas-relief.
Today, the term boiserie is used to refer to panelling with wooden panels which are not necessarily decorated, but are nevertheless enriched with frames. Boiserie gives extreme personality to the room in which it is used. But not all woods are the same. There are antique woods, perhaps preciously decorated, taken from the wonderful and opulent French eighteenth century. There are raw woods, perfect for lofts or informal settings.
There are very linear woods, excellent in aesthetic minimalism, often used in design kitchens. In short, no woodwork is the same as another. Often, however, it is very expensive. Other disadvantages include certain permeability, which can sometimes be a disadvantage in interiors when it tends to absorb moisture or dirt.
Nowadays, many artisan productions have resumed the use of boiserie. Production is located in Italy mainly in the north-east (Veneto) where panelling is produced in walnut or lacquered finishes. Some design studios specialize in this type of furniture, which requires greater precision in the execution of the survey and experience in assembly.
The boiserie, however it is used, enriches the environment with character. It is often found in British houses, mostly in mahogany. But nowadays, in addition to more trendy colours, another solution is also becoming popular which allows a wood effect in a flat without too much difficulty: wood panel wallpaper.
