What is French boiserie?
French boiserie is a highly decorative wood paneling produced in France during the 17th and 18th centuries. Furniture makers hand-carved the panel, creating ornate designs in low relief. Some examples have natural wood finishes, while others show off painted surfaces. You'll find a selection of French boiserie on 1stDibs.
