3. PEACEFUL FRIEZE

A simple landscape frieze from C.F.A. Voysey’s most prolific period, Dove and Holly features a gently arching holly tree reminiscen­t of Gothic tracery.

4. VICTORIAN FRETWORK

Rob Bennett uses bent lamination to create the curves in graceful arched spandrels like the Victoria. The 4' high design can be extended to any length over 5'. Spandrels may be crafted in a variety of woods and finishes. About $850. Wabashiki Woodworks, (812) 236-5493, wabashikiw­oodworks.com

5. HAIL THE QUEEN

Named for the late Queen, ‘Elizabeth’ is a deeply textured, small-scale Lincrusta pattern that takes well to coloration and highlighti­ng. Made from linseed oil and wood flour, embossed, fire-rated material is flat-backed and extremely tough. It’s $480 per 33' roll. From wallpaperd­irect, (855) 972-9273, wallpaperd­irect.com
