Interior Doors · Tudor & Tudor Revival
Woodwork from Knole House and a Door from Gayton Manor (published 1894)
A plate from Gotch's Architecture of the Renaissance in England showing carved woodwork from Knole House alongside a paneled door from Gayton Manor House.
Design characteristics
This plate is useful because it focuses on details rather than whole rooms: carved panels, frieze ornament and a period door with its frame. English Renaissance doors were typically made of small panels framed by moulded rails, sometimes with carved arches or strapwork in the upper panels. It is a good source for a Tudor Revival interior door or a paneled closet door that matches surrounding wainscot.
