PANEL (O. Fr. panel, mod. panneau, piece of cloth, from Med. Lat. pannellus, diminutive of pannus, cloth)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 677 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANEL (O. Fr. panel, mod. panneau, piece of cloth, from Med. Lat. pannellus, diminutive of pannus, cloth) , a piece of cloth, slip of parchment, or portion of a surface of
wood
  or stone enclosed in a compartment. In the first sense the word survives in the use of " panel " or " paneel " for the cloth-stuffed lining of a saddle. From the slip of parchment' on which the
list
  of jurymen is
drawn
  up by the sheriff, " panel " in English law is applied to a jury, who are thus said to be " empanelled." In Scots law the word is used of the indictment, and of the person or persons named in the indictment; " panel " is thus the equivalent of the English " prisoner at the bar." In building and architecture (Fr. panneau; Ital. quadretto, formello; Ger. Feld) " panel " is properly used of the piece of
wood
  framed within the stiles and rails of a door, filling up the aperture; but it is often applied both to the whole square
frame
  and the sinking itself, and also to the ranges of sunken compartments in cornices, corbel tables, groined vaults, ceilings, &c. In Norman
work
  these recesses are generally shallow, and more of the nature of arcades. In Early English
work
  the square panels are ornamented with quatrefoils, cusped circles, &c., and the larger panels are often deeply recessed, and form niches with trefoil heads and sometimes canopies. In the Decorated style the cusping and other enrichments of panels become more elaborate, and they are often filled with shields, foliages, and sometimes figures. Towards the end of this period the walls of important buildings were often entirely covered with long or square panels, tht former frequently forming niches with statues. The use of panels in this way became very common in Perpendicular work, the
wall
  frequently being entirely covered with long, short and square panels, which latter are frequently richly cusped, and filled with every species of ornament, as shields, bosses of foliage, portcullis, lilies, Tudor roses, &c. Wooden panellings very much resembled those of stone, except in the Tudor period, when the panels were enriched by a varied design, imitating the plaits of a piece of linen or a napkin folded in a
great
  number of parallel lines. This is generally called the linen pattern. Wooden ceilings, which are very common, are composed of thin oak boards nailed to the rafters, collars, &c., and divided into panels by oak mouldings fixed on them, with carved bosses at the intersections.
