Stevensons of Norwich and The National Trust have teamed up to create a unique series of decorative plaster ranges drawn directly some of the most spectacular period properties in the country.
Our long history with the National Trust has allowed us to create authentic recreations of some of the country’s finest plasterwork, with the added benefit of each sale directly helping to support the National Trust in the conservation of the original sites for years to come.
The Stevensons National Trust Cornice Collection comprises 48 Georgian cornice profiles, faithfully recreating the cornice seen across 15 selected National Trust properties.
Our range is split into four distinct styles, covering a range of years between 1700 and 1840, making the range suitable for a variety of installations. As a licensed supplier, you can be assured of the authenticity of the mould, with our team of experienced craftsmen ensuring that the cornice matches the original down to the smallest detail.
The Stevensons National Trust Ceiling Rose Collection comprises of 26 Georgian and neo-classical designs, researched and inspired from some of the most spectacular and intricate country house ceilings in the country.
The range has five decorative designs and three plain, with patterns scaled across three sizes, making them suitable for any home or larger decorative ceiling design.
Study Ceiling
Stevensons of Norwich designed a coffered barrel ceiling with an inter lacing rope detail for a grand Study at an overseas private residence.
The ceiling proposal was developed by our in-house design team and handmade at our Works in Norwich prior to being shipped international and installed by our team.
The rope detail was modelled from scratch and cast integral to the coffers, giving a seamless finish to the design.

Complete Theatre Plasterwork Restoration
Stevensons of Norwich were responsible for the entire restoration, repair and in places, replacement of the original decorative and heritage plasterwork.
Numerous original architectural and decorative elements were brought to our Works in Norwich to assist with the specialist process of matching and replicating the plasterwork ahead of the new casts being transported to London for installation by our team.
Despite the numerous challenges of 2020, the project at The Theatre Royal proved an interesting and exciting environment to work and we look forward to our next theatre restoration project.

Bespoke Decorative Plasterwork
Stevensons were approached to manufacture and design a range of bespoke plasterwork for this Grade II Listed Property in Little Venice, London. The bespoke work included raised and fielded wall panels, decorative plaster cornices, and bespoke arches with staff-bead detailing across the ground and first floors.
The choice of the decorative plasterwork reflects the heritage of the property, whilst the bespoke elements contribute to creating contemporary interior spaces.
Once our draughtsmans design and setting out drawings were approved by the Client, the mouldings were handmade by our craftsmen at our Works in Norwich, prior to installation by our London based installation team.

Lath and Lime Traditional Ceiling Installation
One of Norfolks many National Trust properties, the Felbrigg Hall estate has a wide range of historic plasterwork. Stevensons were invited to install a new ceiling in the Halls library to maintain the historic setting, the instruction was to create the ceiling using traditional lath and lime plaster methods, as would have been the case when the library was originally built.
Our team of expert craftsmen achieved this by forming three coats of lime plaster onto the lath background. Once complete, plain plaster mouldings were applied to complete the look.

Plaster Ceiling Reproduction
After a fire seriously damaged the property in 2006, Stevensons of Norwich worked to reinstate the plasterwork within Stoke Rochford Hall which had been destroyed by the fire across four major rooms The Grand Hall, The Library, The Tudor Room and the Rochford Room.
Using surviving fragments from the fire and historic plans, Stevensons designers crafted detailed moulds to restore the 1841 built building back to its original Gothic style. The destroyed lime plasterwork was replaced with fibrous plaster casts of the reconstructed designs, with the wall plaster also reinstated using traditional methods.
This faithful reproduction of the lost plasterwork within Stoke Rochford Hall earned Stevensons of Norwich the prestigious Plaisterers Trophy in 2008 for outstanding works both off and on site, with the Judges commenting that it would be a disservice to all the craftsmen and apprentices involved not to honour this project with an award.
