carved furniture

Woodwork with relief

Carved furniture is wooden furniture decorated with designs cut into its surface—ornamental patterns, figures, or motifs shaped by hand tools or machines.

The term distinguishes pieces with this decorative treatment from plain or painted furniture: The estate sale featured carved furniture from the Victorian era.

Carving ranges from simple geometric patterns to elaborate scenes and scrollwork.
