History of Wall Panels
From as early as the late 15th century saw the introduction of Wall Panelling.
At the beginning of the 16th Century a new domestic structure started to evolve.
Comfort began to spread. Aided by the printing press which distributed the new designs of Buildings in and Living in Europe.
Wall Panelling & Oak Panelling were much sought after for their insulation properties. Protecting the home owners from nasty draughts and cold.
From more printing publications more ornate panelling was then developed throughout the Centurys from Stuart Interiors, Georgian and Victorian.
Bosieries Panelling (intricately carved wood panelling) were popular in the 17th and 18th century French Interior Design and the Palace of Versailles has many fine examples.
Now here in the 21st century we can once again help to reduce our heating costs by starting to insulate wherever possible.
Whilst also making sure that when we refurbish our designs are a design for life as opposed to a quick fix.
The re-introduction of wall panelling is now absolutely right for all our environmental needs.
We have much to learn from history.
'We of the twentieth century should not allow ourselves to think vaguely of the Middle Ages as a benighted or shadowy period when life and the people who constituted it had scarcely anything in common with ourselves. In reality the men of the Middle Ages were moved by the same emotions and impulses as our own, and their lives presented the same incongruous mixture of nobility and baseness' Quote by Robert Huntington Fletcher, A History of English Literature
