ELEMENTS OF STYLE
INTRODUCTION
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 the Victorians.
Gothic design was the first true
ecclesiastical style and was symbolic of the
triumph of the Catholic church over
paganism in Europe. The new age of
soaring cathedrals meant the initiation of
new methods of building, to support this
extreme weight.
Gothic Period
ELEMENTS OF STYLE
Gothic Style
Style had a religious symbolic base- think of
old, ornate churches 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 strong vertical 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.
ELEMENTS OF STYLE
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 colours. 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.
ELEMENTS OF STYLE
Gothic Influences
The churches most heavily influenced
gothic design, and this medieval
ecclesiastical style shines strongly
through. Architectural influences were
mostly from Roman and Medieval
design, with elaborate carved wood
and open tracery.
ELEMENTS OF STYLE
In architecture, tracery is
the stonework elements
that support the glass in
a GOHTIC window. The
term probably derives
from the 'tracing floors' on
which the complex
patterns of late Gothic
windows were laid out.
TRACERY
ELEMENTS OF STYLE
Gothic color
Colours were rich and dark, of the Victorian era.
Purple, ruby, black, ochre, forest green and gold
added complemented 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 stencilled
designs. Walls were painted in flat colour's, to
depict stones, and often covered in wall hangings-
especially tapestries. Obviously stained glass was a
significant feature, and these were ideally accented
with pewter, wrought iron, suits of armour and
candles. Decorative ribbing or cornices were
common and elaborately carved. Heraldic emblems
were seen everywhere.

ELEMENTS OF STYLE
Tudor and Jacobean style
INTRODUCTION
1457 – 1509
This coincides with the rule of the Tudor dynasty in
England whose first monarch was henry VII. The term is
often used more broadly to include Elizabeth I reign
(1558 – 1603) characteristic of this style is the
enrichment of every surface with flamboyant carved,
turned, inlaid, and painted decoration in the spirit of the
English renaissance.
Tudor furniture was made of ”oak” or wood which was obtained
locally, highly ornate, carved and heavy.
ELEMENTS OF STYLE
Tudor and Jacobean periods were seen as turning point towards classicized decoration.
Timber framed houses were replaced by reconstruction with stone and brick.
Fireplace was a dominant element in the style of the room.
Use of glass was seen in small and large houses.
They never used fabrics in the eating zone as they tended to retain smell of food. They
used plastered walls in eating zone.
Principal building materials used by them were stone, brick and timber.
