Crafted with Care and Precision

Each piece of Solid Oak Lamb’s Tongue Architrave is carefully machined for a crisp, even profile that showcases the natural character of oak. The solid hardwood construction ensures long-term stability, while the curved moulding offers a refined edge detail that enhances the quality of any doorway.

Choose European Oak for its soft golden tone and tight grain, ideal for classic British homes, or American Red Oak for a slightly warmer hue with a more pronounced grain pattern — perfect for contemporary interiors seeking richness and warmth.

Timeless Design, Lasting Quality

The lamb’s tongue profile has been a staple of British joinery for generations. Its smooth flowing shape creates a graceful shadow line around door frames and blends beautifully with both traditional and transitional interiors.

Whether you’re completing a period property restoration, upgrading interior finishes, or installing new joinery, this profile offers a balance of traditional design and modern precision. Pair with matching lamb’s tongue oak skirting boards for a cohesive and polished look throughout your home.

Easy to Finish and Fit

Each architrave length is planed smooth and ready for finishing, allowing you to customise the appearance to suit your space. Apply a clear oil or wax to bring out the wood’s natural grain and texture, or use a stain or varnish to coordinate with existing flooring, doors, or furniture.

The precision-cut moulding ensures tight mitres and easy installation, making it suitable for both professional joiners and skilled DIYers. The natural strength of oak guarantees a durable, impact-resistant finish that will stand the test of time.

Sustainably Sourced Hardwood

Our oak architraves are made using responsibly sourced hardwood from sustainable European and North American forests. Each piece is kiln-dried for stability and carefully selected for quality, grain consistency, and colour tone.

By choosing oak, you’re supporting sustainable forestry while investing in a renewable, long-lasting material that adds genuine value and craftsmanship to your home.

Elegant Detailing for Every Doorway

The Solid Oak Lamb’s Tongue Architrave brings timeless style and premium quality to any room. Its smooth, sculpted lines and choice of European or American Red Oak make it a versatile option for both classic and modern interiors.

Whether you’re restoring a heritage property or adding a touch of luxury to a new project, this profile delivers a perfect balance of traditional elegance and hardwood durability.

Choose real oak – crafted, sustainable, and beautifully detailed.
