Of course, the important thing is not what our neighbors like, but what matches our personal taste and style and what composes the kind of living space that will make us feel most at home. Still, even our own tastes may change over time. When designing a house, there is also an investment aspect to the decisions we make. Most of us sell a home at some point, and we want it to remain attractive. With those con- siderations, it often pays to implement timeless designs that we and others will appreciate far into the future. Trim and millwork are timeless architectural features. Even those design el- ements have gone in and out of style; there was a couple of decades when moldings were rarely used in America. But a look at history should have told us that they would certainly resurge in popularity. From the elaborate design and ornaments of the Corinthian columns of Ancient Greece, to the intriguing egg-and-dart design or dentils of crown molding, to an understated molding featuring just a groove and a quar- ter-round bar, there are limitless possibilities and combinations to beautify our homes, and they have stood the test of time. Architects and carpenters have been designing beautiful moldings for thousands of years. The recent gain in the popularity of moldings proves that their appeal has not dimmed. The history of building design tells us that elegant millwork is a feature that adds lasting value to any home. It doesn’t need to be heavy or ornate—a simpler look can beautifully frame a space as well. In researching this month’s feature, I spoke with Aaron Housman of Ornate Ô·ª·²¹ Mouldings for some insights. He mentioned to me that years ago, interest in millwork dropped precipitously and he lost around two-thirds of his busi- ness—until Susan Strauss revived it. “She single-handedly brought back our entire business by coming up with beautiful designs that people just couldn’t turn down,” he told me. ÍÐßÝÛ I hope you will use the valuable insights in this issue as a guide to asking the right questions when it comes to implementing moldings and trim in your unique home.

  • Discover the Styles and Techniques of French Master Carvers and Gilders
    LOUIS STYLE rench rames F 1610–1792F SEPTEMBER 15, 2015–JANUARY 3, 2016 What makes a frame French? Discover the styles and techniques of French master carvers and gilders. This magnificent frame, a work of art in its own right, weighing 297 pounds, exemplifies French style under Louis XV (reigned 1723–1774). Fashioned by an unknown designer, perhaps after designs by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (French, 1695–1750), and several specialist craftsmen in Paris about 1740, it was commissioned by Gabriel Bernard de Rieux, a powerful French legal official, to accentuate his exceptionally large pastel portrait and its heavy sheet of protective glass. On this grand scale, the sweeping contours and luxuriously carved ornaments in the corners and at the center of each side achieve the thrilling effect of sculpture. At the top, a spectacular cartouche between festoons of flowers surmounted by a plume of foliage contains attributes symbolizing the fair judgment of the sitter: justice (represented by a scale and a book of laws) and prudence (a snake and a mirror). PA.205 The J. Paul Getty Museum © 2015 J. Paul Getty Trust LOUIS STYLE rench rames F 1610–1792F Frames are essential to the presentation of paintings. They protect the image and permit its attachment to the wall. Through the powerful combination of form and finish, frames profoundly enhance (or detract) from a painting’s visual impact. The early 1600s through the 1700s was a golden age for frame making in Paris during which functional surrounds for paintings became expressions of artistry, innovation, taste, and wealth. The primary stylistic trendsetter was the sovereign, whose desire for increas- ingly opulent forms of display spurred the creative Fig.

  • Illumination Underfoot the Design Origins of Mamluk Carpets by Peter Samsel
    Illumination Underfoot The Design Origins of Mamluk Carpets by Peter Samsel Sophia: The Journal of Traditional Studies 10:2 (2004), pp.135-61. Mamluk carpets, woven in Cairo during the period of Mamluk rule, are widely considered to be the most exquisitely beautiful carpets ever created; they are also perhaps the most enigmatic and mysterious. Characterized by an intricate play of geometrical forms, woven from a limited but shimmering palette of colors, they are utterly unique in design and near perfect in execution.1 The question of the origin of their design and occasion of their manufacture has been a source of considerable, if inconclusive, speculation among carpet scholars;2 in what follows, we explore the outstanding issues surrounding these carpets, as well as possible sources of inspiration for their design aesthetic. Character and Materials The lustrous wool used in Mamluk carpets is of remarkably high quality, and is distinct from that of other known Egyptian textiles, whether earlier Coptic textiles or garments woven of wool from the Fayyum.3 The manner in which the wool is spun, however – “S” spun, rather than “Z” spun – is unique to Egypt and certain parts of North Africa.4,5 The carpets are knotted using the asymmetrical Persian knot, rather than the symmetrical Turkish knot or the Spanish single warp knot.6,7,8 The technical consistency and quality of weaving is exceptionally high, more so perhaps than any carpet group prior to mechanized carpet production. In particular, the knot counts in the warp and weft directions maintain a 1:1 proportion with a high degree of regularity, enabling the formation of polygonal shapes that are the most characteristic basis of Mamluk carpet design.9 The red dye used in Mamluk carpets is also unusual: lac, an insect dye most likely imported from India, is employed, rather than the madder dye used in most other carpet groups.10,11 Despite the high degree of technical sophistication, most Mamluks are woven from just three colors: crimson, medium blue and emerald green.

Night view from southeast during construction, 2008. Photograph by Iwan Baan. Interview Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Morphing Lincoln Center Scofidio Interviewed by Jorge Otero - Pailos Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio have added their signa- ture to Lincoln Center’s Julliard School building, forty years after Pietro Belluschi’s original design was completed in 1968. Their intervention involved demolishing the eastern façade and extending the footprint of the building over the existing plaza toward Broadway. In this interview, Diller and Scofidio argue that their radical transformation of the historic fabric nevertheless functions as a means of preserving the most his- torically significant features of the original building, including its internal organization, which was previously hidden behind uniform travertine and is now exposed through strategically located glass apertures. In a significant departure from typo- logical and stylistic theories of architectural restoration, Diller and Scofidio advance the notion of morphing as a way to extend the significant elements of a historic building without mimicking or negating them.

L’usage de ces visages remonte à l’Antiquité. Ils avaient un rôle protecteur, ils étaient censés éloigner les démons. Au Moyen Âge l’usage des sculptures aux représentations démoniaques enrichit le répertoire décoratif de ces visages de pierre. Au XV e siècle, suite à la découverte des peintures antiques de la Villa Auréa à Rome, appelées “grotteschi“, la Renaissance italienne va remettre au goût du jour ce répertoire ornemental. Les artistes italiens venus travailler pour François 1 er à Fontainebleau vont s’en inspirer. Les recueils de gravures de l’architecte Jacques Androuet du Cerceau vont également contribuer à la diffusion de ces ornements. À Versailles, au XVII e siècle on voit apparaître de nouveaux modèles qui vont enrichir le genre. Le XVIII e siècle, la grande mode des mascarons Au XVIII e siècle, le goût de la fantaisie, de l’exotisme, l’embellissement du cadre de vie, vont faire du mascaron un des ornements incontournables de l’architecture et de la modénature des façades.
