Picture rail and dado options.

[Christina]

Hi,

We are restoring our newly moved into1905 house which was turned into flats in the 80's. We are having issues finding matching mouldings and really don't want to pull out all the beautiful mouldings to get something off the shelf.

With the dado rail we only need a meter, so it would be quite an expense getting it replicated.

I wondered if anyone recognised these profiles or knew a place that has decent amount of choice. Or maybe how easy it would be to recreate them, I saw on Ebay they have lots of old moulding planes.

Thank you

There is also skirting, we have gaps in certain places that need putting back in.

are the mouldings in every room could you take some from another room and use that to match then use a modern moulding to replace it

Unfortunately that isn't really an option as the hallway has different profiles to the rest of the house. The dado rail for example is only in the hall. They had removed it from everywhere else.

It's the hallway we are currently working on.
