I think you are going to struggle with that Greek key insert. :roll: The moulding looks distinctly unfamiliar too.

It could be that they were produced exclusively for someone and have never been available to the trade.

The rope twist frame looks like a stacked moulding job, but I have not seen a gold rope twist moulding like that in years. Renaissance mouldings used to do a rose twist a lot like that, but sadly Renaissance mouldings are no more. Might be worth talking to Centraldo as they bought the remaining stock when Renaissance closed down.

I never seen that greek key moulding anywhere. I'm guessing, but it might be the sort of thing that Byron Mouldings could have done, but again Byron Mouldings are also no more. I would think that the chances of getting that greek key moulding a very slight, probably not at all.

What are you like at hand finishing? Rose and Hollis do some Richard Birbidge rope twist mouldings that could be glued on to another moulding and you could get pretty close to that one looking about right.

The first photo with the rope twist is not a stacked , as I have used it may years ago, but I can't think where we got it from, it could be plastic, but i wouldn't swear to it :sweating:
