Strapwork
Late 16th century strapwork in stone, England.
Strapwork is a stylised and ornamental representation of leather straps. Strapwork was popular in sixteenth and early seventeenth century Europe and was revived in the nineteenth century. A strapwork design consists of a series of bands worked into geometric patterns of varying degrees of complexity. This style of work was used for architectural details, stucco panels, as well as for textile and embroidery designs.
