- Entrelac - In decorative arts, entrelac refers to a decorative technique that creates a woven or basket-weave-like pattern. The term "entrelac" is derived from the French word "entrelacer," which means "to interlace." In decorative arts, entrelac is often used to describe patterns that are created by interlacing or weaving together strips or bands of material.
In ceramics, entrelac is sometimes used to describe decorative patterns that are created by interlacing or weaving together strips or bands of clay. This technique can be used to create intricate designs and patterns on pottery, tiles, and other ceramic objects.
In other decorative arts, such as furniture, entrelac can be used to describe decorative inlays or marquetry, where wooden or other materials appear woven together to create intricate designs. This technique can be used to create decorative details on furniture, such as table tops and aprons, chair legs, and cabinet doors.
