German Wainscoting?

Question:

Answers:
While the word "wainscoting" is German (wagenschot), "German Wainscoting" as an actual applicable and defined style, does not exist. Wainscoting started and first flourished in Colonial England, where skilled craftsmen from various parts of Europe subsequently adopted the decorative wall treatment for use in their respective home lands. Many skilled German woodworkers have since masterfully embellished on the treatment, leading to many unique visual takes on existing styles.
