Twenties and Thirties Staircase Stair PartsThe History of Staircases

Stair Parts ref: SPF430

Quality houses in the late 1920s and through the 30s were often conceived as a flow of space rather than a series of closed boxes: h Cantilevering allowed the stairs to follow the line of a curved or flat wall with no support on the sides. The visual lightness of such staircases was emphasized by open treads.

Wooden stair parts rising from a main room are a feature of the Spanish Colonial style, but the treads are closed and the stairs are usually screened with wood panelling.

A staircase leading to a gallery may be found in the more sizeable Tudorbethan house. The grand staircase with carved stair parts also occurs in miniaturized form in smaller suburban houses, often with a small half-landing, the whole thing constructed in mass-produced wooden components, stained in a dark oak color and varnished.

Stair parts design played a major role in the Modern Movement's opening up of internal space. In England,. A house constructed has a beautiful curving wooden ladder stair leading from the floor above the entrance level to the roof. Many Modernist houses had a nautical-style ladder for access to an upper sunbathing level.

The wooden open-tread stair became standard in the 1940s and 1950s, and often rose from the main room.

The opportunity that staircases present for architectural statement or decorative display has produced a wide variety of results in recent decades.

In Post-Modem houses the stairs will tend to be sub­divided into short flights, turning at right angles at each half-landing in order to enhance our appreciation of the house spacious layout. The woodworking traditions on both sides of the Atlantic have been reactivated to provide a variety of carved stair parts such has balusters and newel posts, often incorporating Classical Revival staircases, with little variation on 18th-century models. Occasion­ally an imperial staircase, or a simpler cantilevered curve, can create a majestic effect. Plain square-section carved wooden balusters are used in the finest houses. Wrought iron is sometimes installed as a form of decorative tracery.
