About the Manchester Collection
Mouldings serve both practical and aesthetic purposes. They define
architectural features, lend visual interest to surface and shapes, and
connect us to thousands of years of architectural practice.
The Manchester Collection includes different styles of mouldings that
go well together physically, aesthetically and historically. This
collection has expanded to include nineteenth century, colonialinspired, and twentieth century craftsman styles. This collection is
continually being updated.
The architect, designer, builder or homeowner may choose to mix and
match different profiles from each set — and we will gladly help you
make these selections. We can also craft mouldings to match samples
you have or drawings of what you would like.
The Belmont Style
The symmetrical design of our Belmont casing moulding was
popular for a long period, from about 1880 to the 1930s. The
plinth and rosette give the Belmont style a more informal,
cottage-like feeling. It is equally striking in painted poplar or
stained and varnished oak.
The Linwood Style
Our Linwood mouldings feature rosettes and molded plinths
that are sized for ceilings at least eight feet high. This style
was popular between about 1880 and 1910. Linwood mouldings
are most effective painted, which accents the shapes and curves
of the casings and plinths.
The Schenley Style
Our Schenley mouldings feature bold, sharp profiles commonly
used in buildings constructed between about 1900 and 1940. Very
often they were painted. If they are to be stained and varnished,
we recommend a strong-grained wood such as oak or ash. The
baseboard is designed to be used as either one or two pieces,
depending on the ceiling height. Suitable for ceiling heights of
eight foot or higher.
The Sheffield Style
The gentle curves of our Sheffield mouldings make
them very effective as painted profiles, or stained and
varnished in woods with an even grain, such as cherry
or mahogany. This style was most popular from 1870
to 1900. Mouldings are sized for ceilings eight feet
or higher.
