Tracery

Tracery is curved, geometrical ornament found in windows, fanlights and sidelights. Tracery patterns give an opening focus and a sense of wonder.

Our experience with curved woodwork and geometry over the years has led to many wonderful opportunities building tracery for universities, churches, and residential entryways.

Historical Note

Tracery is usually thought of in its traditional gothic application. It can also found in Federal and Classical Revival sidelights and fanlights.
