Art Deco wall paneling & wainscoting
Geometric glamour: exotic veneers, sunbursts and chevrons, stepped forms, fluting and lacquer.
For custom work, Deco is about surface and silhouette. Veneered or inlaid doors, fluted panels, stepped casings and geometric grilles carry the style, and they are especially effective in bars, powder rooms and entries.
Wall paneling ranges from simple board-and-batten to full-height Georgian rooms, Tudor linenfold and the wood-lined Alpine Stube. It is one of the most effective ways to give a room period character.
