(1901–1910) The Edwardian period moved away from Victorian excess towards a more elegant simplicity — pastel colour schemes, floral wallpapers, and mouldings drawing on the natural forms of Art Nouveau. Compared with the bulkier Georgian and heavily ornamented Victorian profiles that came before, Edwardian mouldings are lighter and more refined, suited to the high ceilings, wider hallways and more spacious rooms typical of the period. Our range covers the fretwork-style mouldings and dado profiles needed to bring that lighter period character to a restoration project or a new-build designed in the Edwardian idiom.

Less fussy than Victorian, but still clearly period rather than plain — fretwork detailing and natural, Art Nouveau-inflected forms distinguish Edwardian mouldings from the more rigid symmetry of Georgian profiles. Proportions tend to be more delicate, reflecting the airier room dimensions the style is known for.

For architects and joinery companies working on Edwardian-period restorations or new-builds referencing the era, our fretwork and dado profiles are built to the lighter proportions the style calls for.
