About this book

Enthusiasts of early twentieth-century domestic architecture and interior design, carpentry hobbyists, and those with an interest in restoration work will rejoice in the republication of this rare millwork catalog. Intended for use by dealers, architects, contractors, and builders, the Universal Catalog Bureau's 1927 publication stressed the importance of matching woodwork to the style of the home under construction — a colonial-style entrance and doors for a colonial house, for example, and dark, stained oak panel work and exposed beams for an English cottage design. This catalog assured customers of designs correct in proportions, economical in construction, and in harmony with the rest of the residence.
Featured items include illustrations of French doors, garage doors, windows and sashes, blinds, stairwork, phone and clock niches, colonnades, fireplaces, bookcases and window seats, radiator covers, sideboards and buffets, wardrobes, bathroom cabinets, pergolas, arbor seats, trellises, and other interior and exterior elements. Captions provide descriptions and measurements for each item.

WOOD MOULDINGS

Standard Designs and Universal Sizes
MOULDINGS are used principally for decorative purposes. They create highlights and shadows to break harsh joints and unattractive edges or flat surfaces; in many ways expressing the desired architectural treatment.
Mouldings can be divided into two classes, exterior and interior, though a number of these designs can be used for both purposes. Exterior moulds are used principally on the cornices and porches. Interior moulds, better known as interior trim, are the various members used around door and window openings and around the base, walls and ceiling.
