Russian term or phrase: лепные работы
Dear Colleagues,

I need your help with the translation of "лепные работы" in the context below:

Под «Внутренней отделкой» в рамках настоящего Договора понимаются все виды штукатурных и малярных работ, в том числе лепные работы; отделка стен и потолка всеми видами дерева, пластика и т.п. материалами; оклейка их обоями, покрытие пола и потолка (в т.ч. паркет, линолеум и т.п.), дверные конструкции (межкомнатные), включая остекление; встроенная мебель.

Dictionaries suggest "modeling", but "molding" seems a more suitable option...

English translation:moulding (AmE molding)
Explanation:
CollinsCobuild
a moulding is a strip of plaster or wood along the top of a wall or round a door, which has been made into an ornamental shape or decorated with a pattern.

Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
to mould A (into B) | mould B (from / out of / in A) to shape a soft substance into a particular form or object by pressing it or by putting it into a mould : The figure had been moulded in clay.

Seems to be the right word for your context.

Actually, "plasterwork" would be a more specific translation.

blue_roses, Вы правы насчет "штукатурных работ". Ниже в своём ответе я предложила более подходящий вариант перевода PLASTERWORK. См. мою последнюю ссылку в ответе и мои замечания в секции "discussion entry".

Notes to answerer
Asker: I thought that plastering is the equivalent for штукатурные работы...

Asker: Probably I should have mentioned that the context is an excerpt from an insurance contract, so in this context "лепные работы" means the result and not the process of work.

disagree  Anna S Glazkova: Всё-таки, molding - это, скорее, "продукт" лепных работ, нежели сами работы. Это означает "лепнина" или "лепное украшение".
