Most of the following pieces were mainly designed and modelled by the Arts & Crafts architect, Norman Jewson, with one or two by Gimson. Jewson worked mainly in the Cotswolds, and practised many crafts, including stone and woodcarving, leadwork and decorative plasterwork. He trained under Gimson, and it was he who taught him how to produce decorative plasterwork.
These pieces of plasterwork were copied from original pieces. Most of the pieces are for friezes or ceilings. We can supply any quantity, and would be happy to quote for doing a room. £POA. These smaller panels have a different look and feel to standard lengths of plaster, but this tends to make them a bit more expensive (in man hours). We give the measurements for each piece. We have shown most pieces as a line drawing, rather than as a photograph, as this conveys the pattern better. Also, we have shown a cross section for each piece, the dotted line defining the raised pattern.

We took the liberty of painting a couple of the owl plaques, shown below. Arts & Crafts plasterwork, in England anyway, was sometimes painted. They look really attractive when painted, and have a Baillie-Scott feel to them.
These were painted with washes of colour, as opposed to solid colour, as this allows some of the white of the plaster to show through, and makes them look aged. We could paint them any colour you prefer ~ please supply details and we'll give you a quote.
