| The Classical Colonial Style captures the flair and flavor of the
18th century and is designed after the moldings in the historic William
Gibbes House in Charleston, South Carolina, where the walls and rooms
were symmetrical, balanced and perfectly proportioned. Moldings of
this period were quite sturdy, and the Classical Colonial Style reproduces
the size and scale of these traditional patterns. Typical of this
period, the Style is built up and large, with bold details designed
to create a home of distinctive scale.
This Classical Colonial Style is drawn from turn of the century
millwork and accurately captures the spirit of early craftsmanship,
where house-wrights would use a variety of hollow, round and angled
planes to mold fine-grained wood according to their own interpretation
of traditional design. Detailed coves and beads throughout the moldings
result in a harmonious and classic pairing of styles perfect for
any home. |
