Ben Herzog Hi- While the stairs are new, this newel was original to the house. There used to be catalogs where you could order this kind of thing if you were an 1880s / 90s townhouse developer. Nowadays, you can have someone make one of these by turning it on a lathe. We recently completed another project on this same block (photos to come soon) where the cap of the newel was missing and we had it built out of walnut to match this one. Good luck!

Summit Stairs & Millwork We have several place where we design a newel from a photograph and send it to them for production. I have done this many times. It would be a close match and of course the customer would sign off on it prior to being made. Not that difficult but the drafting time and the custome turning of it can get a bit expensive.

Excellent trim detail. Can you tell me what profiles were used on the door casing and on the baseboards? Thanks. »
· Comment · 17 months ago
Ben Herzog These casing profiles were custom. We designed them and the GC had them made.

Ben Herzog The baseboard is from Dykes- I believe it is a 131 cap on a 265 base...

Ben Herzog I believe, and I could be wrong, that it was Farrow and Ball 'Tallow' in the hall and, perhaps, Benjamin Moore OC-85 'Mayonnaise' in the living room...

What Houzz contributors are saying:
The clients already owned all of the artwork in the home, and it was a natural fit for the project's fresh feel. While the carved newel on the staircase is original, the rest of the staircase was taken out and replaced with sturdy oak. Some of the original door casings didn't quite fit with the new, clean look of the home, so those were replaced too.

You may find that you want to treat the sides and top of a cased opening the same. So you'll take the same profile that's used on the sides, or jambs, and run that all around the opening. In this example, a cased opening is created by using the same trim on the sides and on the top of the doorway. In a window application, a "picture frame" effect is created by using the same profile all around (top, bottom and sides).
