“The character of domestic interiors is largely defined by the quality and detailing of its architectural joinery and plasterwork.”Charles Brooking
Atkey and Company are makers of exemplary architectural joinery, whose designs are sourced entirely from original examples from the best known periods of British building design.
The Atkey catalogue of joinery mouldings has been created in partnership with Charles Brooking, who has granted Atkey exclusive commercial access to The Brooking Collection, which is an archive of salvaged architectural detail, including over 20,000 sections of joinery from the Tudor period onwards.
Through this partnership Atkey are able to offer a broad range of authentic interior doors and timber mouldings from the Georgian, Regency, Victorian, Arts and Crafts, and Edwardian periods.
When involved in the repair or sensitive extension of historic buildings, or with new buildings requiring accurate period detailing, the Atkey catalogue enables professionals and homeowners to specify appropriate, elegant and well proportioned architectural joinery.
Without this knowledge based on direct access to original source material, supposedly historical detailing bears little relation to the originals in terms of proportion and weight, the designs having been diluted over many years of reissue.
Each item within the Atkey archive can be traced to a dated building. The catalogue can be viewed as a work of reference that provides a sound basis for design and encourages a closer adherence to some of the models of the masters from the past.
