ELEMENTS OF STYLEToday we are heirs to a legacy of fine building and to a continuing

fascination with the details and stylistic which give our houses their

character. In Britain and US the interest in old houses has becomesomething of national obsession. Today the houses we live in have

become a major concern and as houses are being developed on human

scale. Today the interiors of house effect our quality of life which we enjoy

there.

I as a student of Interior Design doing my B.SC ID , present a brief

Gothic Style(1600-1620)


5/87

GOTHIC STYLE

Gothic Period:

Gothic period design was influenced by Roman and

Medieval architecture. Its initial design period was c.1150

to 1550, but saw a revival in the 19th century by theVictorians.

Gothic design was the first true ecclesiastical style and

was symbolic of the triumph of the Catholic church in

Europe. The new age of soaring cathedrals meant the

initiation of new methods of building, to support thisextreme weight.


6/87

Style had a religious symbolic base- think of old, ornatechurches and you will be on the right track. Pointed

arches and stained glass in complex trefoil or rose

designs were predominant, exposed, wooden beams,

large, imposing fireplaces, and emulated candle lighting

completed the ecclesiastical style. There was a strongvertical influence, supported by the high arches and

peaks of the architecture. Light was also important, as

windows grew more and more expansive and light and

air flooded into the once gloomy churches of the

Romanesque period.

Gothic Style


7/87

Gothic Furniture

Furniture was massive and oak, adorned with Gothic motifs.

Chairs, bed frames, cabinets were sturdy and featured

arches, spiral-turned legs and rich upholstery in dark colors.Old church furniture such as pews, benches and trestle

tables finish the look. Victorian gothic reproduction and Arts

and Crafts era furniture can be used as an acceptable

alternative, as many of the same motifs crossed over.

Britain had Oak and Beech as it’s native timber for

furniture production, but with the discovery of new land

and the establishment of overseas trade, other timber

species suddenly became available:

Prior to 1500, the Gothic Period, teaching and learning

of craftsmanship was mostly overseen by the church.

Therefore, most ornamentation on Gothic furniture

follows the lines of ornamental stonework from the

Gothic Churches and buildings.

Oak : 1500-1600

Walnut : 1660-1723

Mahagony : 1715

Satinwood : 1765


9/87

The carpenter, blacksmith and the turner made the

furniture. It consisted of tables, forms, stools and chests.

The chest was the principal piece as it served not only

as storage, but also a seat or table. Tables generally

were loose boards on top of trestles.

The wealth of the country increased under the stable

Tudor government and a new middle class was formed

creating a demand for a new form of furniture.

Therefore the 16th Century can be divided into two

halves. The first part, furniture consisted of carving on

gothic framework, stools and forms were the only form

of seating available.

Therefore the 16th Century can be divided into two halves.

The first part, furniture consisted of carving on gothic

framework, stools and forms were the only form of seatingavailable.

The second part, new pieces of furniture evolved. Buffets

or sideboards, fold top games tables, taller chests which

doors became cupboards or hutches and the draw leaf

table which is still common today.

Chairs were developed from chests and had upright back

legs, heavy turning and often carved panels

Plank Chest – Simple Plank construction by a carpenter and blacksmith. Metal straps and nails were used to hold

the timber together but because of the arrangement of

grain the timber often split. They often had handles to

carry it.

12/87

Chest / Partly Framed Chest – This was superseded by

the partly framed chest. It used dry pegged construction and

panel fitted into the frame allowed for movement without the

timber splitting. Panels from riven boards were hand

moulded and sometimes carved to give the “linenfold” effect.

The board is cut with a wedge and split.

Built In Seating – Early settles accommodated up to sixpeople with simple linen fold panels.

Gothic Colour

Colours were rich and dark, of

the Victorian era. Purple, ruby, black,

ochre, forest green and gold addedcomplemented the heavy furniture and

rich design. Wallpaper was ornate and

heavily patterned in natural flowers and

foliage. Also popular was trompe-l’oeil

architectural features or stenciled

designs. Walls were painted in flat

colors, to depict stones, and often

covered in wall hangings- especially

tapestries. Obviously stained glass wasa significant feature, and these were

ideally accented with pewter, wrought

iron, suits of armour and candles.

16/87

In architecture, tracery is

the stonework elements

that support the glass ina Gothic window. The

term probably derives

from the 'tracing floors' on

which the complex

patterns of late Gothic

windows were laid

out. There are two main

types, plate tracery and

the later bar tracery.
