The word “baize” appears throughout literature as a versatile element that enhances both the physical setting and the atmospheric tone of a scene. In some works it is used as a material surface setting the stage for dramatic interior moments—such as the faded baize in a modest sitting room in Dickens ([1]) or the green baize door whose quiet presence conceals secrets and transitions between spaces in works by Agatha Christie ([2], [3]) and James Joyce ([4]). Its employment is not confined to furniture alone; it also contributes to mood, as seen in the description of a gloomy wood with green baize carpeting a theatrical floor ([5]), or a red baize door that dramatically responds to physical violence in Stevenson’s narrative ([6]). Even outside the realm of mere decoration, baize has been referenced functionally—for example, historically in the form of small bags used to percolate coffee ([7]). These varied examples illustrate how authors have drawn on baize both for its tangible, richly textured quality and its symbolic ability to subtly heighten a narrative’s ambience.
