The stall riser is the part of the traditional shop-front directly below the shop window. In Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian shopfronts, the stall riser normally comprises traditionally detailed, painted joinery with moulded or flush-beaded panels corresponding to the original divisions of the shop-window above, with a plinth-board beneath and running along its base between the pilasters to each side. In late Victorian and Edwardian shopfronts the stall riser may be made of polished granite or marble \u2013 sometimes plain, sometimes panelled, or faced in plain or decorative glazed tiles and sometimes incorporating the name of the business. For painted timber stall-risers, the plinth-board is an essential feature, and can usefully take-up a slope or any unevenness in the adjacent footway. The panels in painted timber stall-risers should comprise traditionally detailed joinery and should avoid planted, timber mouldings fixed to plain boarding. 16 Monmouth Street and 17-19 Shelton Street are excellent examples of attractive and authentic stall risers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In modern buildings in historic settings, the inclusion of a well detailed stall-riser of contemporary design in the shop-front is to be preferred to the shop window extending down to floor or footway level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shows how not to design a stall-riser: the mouldings are planted on plain boarding, and\nthe base is completely wrong as it should be parallel to the stall riser rather being set\nback and looking as though it\u2019s not part of the fa\u00e7ade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This remains as one of the few shopfronts in the area possessing both an authentically detailed stall riser with flush beaded panels and a properly detailed plinth board at low level, both adding to its attractiveness. The three stall riser panels reflect the widows with their attractive mullions. 17-19 Shelton Street is another good example set within an attractive 18c shopfront.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
