Mouldings of the tudor period

This portfolio is intended to be in every respect a companion volume to our previous work, Mouldings of the "Wren and Georgian Periods, "and the examples illustrated in it have been specially selected for the purpose from the best small domestic work of the Tudor Period. For the purposes of the book, the Tudor Period has been taken broadly to include Elizabethan and Jacobean work, and as it has been borne in mind that the book's usefulness will lie mainly in the sphere of domestic design, no mouldings from the larger examples of Tudor work have been illustrated in the portfolio.

In order to show the position, relationship, and general arrangement of the various mouldings, a small measured drawing to a scale of 3/8 in. to 1 ft. has been included with every set of mouldings, so that it is hoped that the book will contain a great deal of useful information about details of Tudor domestic work, in addition to its comprehensive survey of the mouldings of the period.

We acknowledge with grateful thanks the assistance which has been given to us by many owners of private houses, who have kindly allowed us to measure and reproduce examples of mouldings.
