MoldingThe 19th century was a golden age of millwork as highly decorated molding, and stairs complemented elaborate Victorian tastes. The popularity of the Colonial Revival and start of the Arts and Crafts movement at the beginning of the 20th century called for less flamboyant, though still quite distinctive millwork that characterized changing esthetic tastes in America.However, during the last 100 years many homes have suffered from ill-conceived attempts to modernize their interiors that destroyed much of their historical character. Using period millwork catalogs, house plan books and the study of surviving examples, HDC can help you restore the character of your period home by assisting in the selection of molding and stair parts that complement its architectural style. Using photos of your home, we will produce a report with drawings and images which will allow you and your builder to select the casing, base, chair and picture rail, wainscoting and other types of molding and stair parts that your restoration project requires.
