Step into the grandeur of yesteryear with these enchanting glimpses into the past. Wainscoting, a timeless interior design element, graces the walls of Tonacombe Manor in Cornwall (1958), adding an air of sophistication and elegance to its halls. The Victorian era's Ramsbury Manor (1920) in Wiltshire showcases intricate wainscoting adorned with elaborate pelmets, while a color lithograph depicts an elegant drawing room with striped curtains and wainscoting. A chromolithograph from Home Life magazine (1881) introduces the concept of the "Dunce Corner," complete with wainscoting, as a playful corner for children. Lastly, the South Kensington Museum in London preserves the history with examples from old houses at Exeter (UK). These stunning vignettes transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the enduring charm and beauty of wainscoting.
