Victorian Scrolled Bracket - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

As a kid I lived in a Gothic Revival style Victorian house in Ontario, I am sure the house is still there. It was brick with gingerbread trim.
I was searching for some information on gothic architecture for another project when I came upon a book published in 1891 by Rand McNally.
It has now entered the public domain. In the book is a series of pictures of gingerbread trim.
I have redone one as a free pattern. I hope to get more done if people are interested.
In the days of this style of trim, the designs were often named after women.
This first one is named after my wife, since she put up with me for so long.
It is there in both jpg and pdf format.

Many thanks, Carl. These pieces seem to be increasingly popular, lending a touch of old-fashioned flair to modern practicality. It's a pattern that I'm delighted to add to my library.

Wonderful Carl! I for one am interested in any and all designs of this nature. Thanks for sharing! I got myself a copy also.

PuzzledMoose · 04-08-2007, 03:11 AM

Thanks Carl. Grabbed a copy here too and I'd certainly be interested in seeing any more patterns from that book that you produce.

ahhh Jim you want me to give out all my secrets....well OK

The book is called New Universal Moulding Book.
There is so much information at that site. I am not exagerating when I say I have downloaded several gigs of books. with topics from Egyptology to Stereoscopic views of Anatomy, which is quite gruesome if I say so myself.

CanadianScroller · 04-08-2007, 06:34 AM

It seems some of these designs have already been redrawn and are available in a Patrick Spielman/James Reidle book, so I will take them offline.
I will look a little deeper before I put anymore up.
Sorry for the confusion.
