linenfold
Tudor wall decoration
Linenfold is a decorative carved pattern in wood paneling that resembles folded cloth or draped fabric.
The design features vertical folds with rounded tops, imitating linen arranged in pleats.
Common in late medieval and Tudor furniture and wall paneling, linenfold remains a recognizable element of Gothic Revival style: The library's linenfold paneling gave it an air of old English formality.
