Wood appliqués are individual relief carvings used as architectural accents. The word "appliqué" is derived from the French "appliquer", meaning to place or lay upon. Common names for carved wood
appliqués are wood onlays, embossed carvings and ginger breads.
An appliqué is decorated with carvings on the display side, and flat on the opposite side to accommodate easy attachment to other architectural elements, such as fireplace mantles, drawers, cabinets, furniture, and wood paneling. Part of the appeal of wood
appliqués is that the possibilities for use are endless. Appliqués and wood carvings are easily applied with adhesive for no-hassle decoration and enhancement.
Wood appliqués in many sizes and forms make it easy for the decorator to design an ideal
appliqué layout. Popular traditional appliqué styles include curling filigrees, flowing plumes, floral designs and rosettes, lion and goddess heads, and any imaginable variation to compliment any interior theme. Use wood
appliqués to create radial designs, or place them at linear intervals to create a frieze pattern along fireplace mantels. Wood
appliqués can be used anywhere, in any design pattern.
Wood appliqués can be solid in form or incised, creating a contrasting cut-out design. Flow and harmony are often achieved through radial patterns, like those found in traditional English rosettes, however, the asymmetrical shapes of plume or filigree
appliqués can be combined in mirror image pairs to maintain symmetry.
