In furniture, the term linenfold refers to a specific style of wood carving or paneling that imitates folded linen fabric. It is often found on the doors, panels, or on the front of furniture pieces like cabinets, chests, and beds. The carvings typically feature deeply incised parallel lines or pleats, resembling the folds of folded linen cloth. This decorative technique became popular during the Gothic and Renaissance periods, and has remained popular since.
