From early
years to those more modern, timber mouldings have graced the most modish and
fashionable of decorating walls, windows, doors, and interiors. Decorative timbermouldings such as cornices, coving and skirtings have stayed as an ever admired
concluding detail; tremendously versatile and sturdy, enhancing the aesthetics
of any home and giving a level of detail, which emphasizes on the class of a
room. Wooden skirting and timber mouldings have a huge series of uses, many of
which came into existence during the Victorian epoch.
Timber
skirting boards are the only existing feature of three interior timber
mouldings objects discovered in the Victorian homes; the others being picture
and dado railings. In the beginning, timber moulding was a practical piece,
used for three main purposes:
1.
To conceal the untidy base edge
of plastered walls, which was much less accurate than our smooth forms
2.
To protect the plaster work from
any harm from heavy furniture
3.
To hide any proof of increasing
dampness
However,
timber moulding with its practical functions was also used as a decorative
piece and to show-off the wealth Victorians possessed. Hence, rooms which were
likely to be visited by guests would have superior skirting boards with more
multifaceted and complex details.
Together with timber
mouldings and skirtings, the details of these timber mouldings were meant to
emulate complex, conventional decoration such as that seen at the top and
bottom of Greek and Roman columns, so for highest impact these features were
used together. Now these day wooden board is still an absolute must in any home
and is readily available in a number of styles and finishes.
