Fretwork
Fretwork is a three-dimensional carved or open geometrical design in wood or metal. The pattern is interlaced and adorns a wide variety of architectural elements, such as furniture, staircases, roof details, brackets and metal plates.
Fretwork can be a decorative way to allow for ventilation in an enclosed space.
