Sometimes the design is a highly stylised series of mouldings giving the illusion of vertical folds. Linenfold was common in Northern Europe from about the mid 15th century with frequent variations, and remained in use in Britain into the early 17th century. During the 19th century linenfold became popular again as an element of the Gothic Revival style. When used on wainscot regular linenfold panels provide a relatively small scale pattern animated by light and shade. Linenfold was usually produced on thin sheets of quarter-sawn oak using moulding planes, then finished with a chisel.","physicalDescription":"Linenfold panel decorated with two linked clusters of vertical folds, each consisting of three continous raised folds with shaped ends at top and bottom.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"oak","id":"AAT12264"}],"techniques":[{"text":"carving","id":"AAT53149"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Oak, planed and carved","categories":[{"text":"Woodwork","id":"THES48877"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2006AF1146"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"128 (VA)","id":"THES49888"},"free":"","case":"7","shelf":"WW","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"France","id":"x28849"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1500-1600","earliest":"1500-01-01","latest":"1600-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by the Board of Trade","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"18","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"9 3/4","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dims taken from acquisition papers","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Pugin collected 'several thousand' plaster casts of medieval details, stone and wood carvings to instruct the craftsmen working on the Palace of Westminster. In 1863, after his death, the collection was given to the South Kensington Museum by the Board of Trade as work on the Palace was largely completed. This included 96 wood carvings, including this one.
