Example Sentences
- "The floor, the wainscoting, were of mahogany—the walls were hung with the finest tapestry—and there were occasional spaces in which large mirrors had been set: but the mahogany was rough and discoloured, the tapestry rent and faded, and the mirrors either wholly gone, and their places filled by matting, or by fragments smashed and shivered in every direction."
- "MICHAELA: Yes - I talked the poor thing's ear off about the history of the estate. You know how I can get going about antique wood panelling. / SIMONE: Oh cool. Did Michaela show you the original piece of wainscoting in the foyer?"
