Treillage: French, from Old French treille, bower supported by trelliswork
I love the way trelliswork or lattice makes a room instantly look like an elegant conservatory.Treillage is French for trelliswork although the meaning is more complex. Treillage refers to trellis of a highly developed form both artistically and architecturally. The Dutch and French achieved a high level of refinement in earlier centuries, creating arbors, galleries, summerhouses and more with a keen eye for proportion and decoration.
At the turn of the century, it was first introduced to America by decorator Elsie de Wolfe in her Trellis Room at the Colony Club. In the 1930s, the use of Chinoiserie bamboo and lattice found a glamorous spot in the houses of the Hollywood Regency Style. And, today the trellis motif is still a favorite of the country's best decorators.
I hope this blog will introduce you again to this lovely design element.
This post is dedicated to more decorative trellis design. My next post will focus on lattice, which falls under the definition of trelliage, but stands on it's own.
