French translation:pièces comportant des moulures de type Artex / plafonds moulurés
Explanation:
Peut-être que dans le pays en question, Artex est aussi connu que Bic pour les stylos.
Cependant, en français, "artexé", ça n'évoque pas grand-chose...

Il faut soit expliquer qu'Artex fait référence à des moulures, soit mettre la marque de côté.

PS : en général, ce sont les plafonds qui portent les moulures
