bracket/corbel/console: a projection from the face of a wall, especially one used to support a cornice or other architectural element.
brackets The decorated ends of beams are probably the original models for the console. Early examples of this element can be found in the architecture of Indian, Chinese and Assyrian origins. The S- shaped double volute, with a large and a small spiral, is the standard form. When it is used as a balcony support, or as a modillion supporting the corona of a cornice, it is recumbent; when supporting the cornices of windows and doors, its attitude is erect. Volute consoles are found only sporadically in the Greek style, and it was really the Romans who were the first to make extensive use of this form. During the Romanesque period (11 th -13 th century), coarse copies of Greek and Roman examples were adopted, along with newly invented styles more in keeping with the heavily arched and ornamented architecture of the time. It is at this point that we find the modillion, an ornamental block or horizontal bracket that was used to support the upper projection of the cornice, in addition to being found in the corners of doors between the jamb and the lintel. The Renaissance reworked the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian capitals for their own use; the Baroque added the triglyph as a viable motif. The Rococo corbel sported shell shapes and unsymmetrical scrolls. Contemporary designs have essentially not added anything new to the corbel except for the idea that it can be used for simple display, and not just for the ornamental support of architectural members. Classic Mouldings collection of corbels range from regulation Roman right through to minimalist, making stops at Rococo, Empire and the Belle Époque on the way. Our corbels may be used in a classical manner, or placed in unorthodox positions to striking effect. installation information Corbels / Brackets Corbels should be applied to wall and ceiling surfaces using Durabond 90, or an equivalent plaster glue. Corbels may be pre-drilled in order to sink a screw into the piece. This secures it to the wall during the drying period. The screw head may then be covered neatly with additional plaster compound. Corbels will not structurally support weight-bearing loads, including shelving. When the corbel is being poured, a metal L bracket may be added by special order. This will provide support for shelving. Brackets supporting glass should be filled and finished on top. This is a special order.

casings Casings may be architectural (unfigured), reeded, or may have motifs such as the guilloche, lamb s tongue, egg and dart, or pearls. Casings may finish in decorative corner blocks at the top, and plinth blocks at the baseboard. There are straight casings, or casings that are stepped (or eared ), and held by a keystone centred at the top of the doorway.

overdoor: header placed over a door or over an opening of a passage, based originally on an interpretation of the classical entablature with an architrave, frieze and cornice; a decorated lintel extending from one pilaster to another, bridging the head of an opening.
overdoors Overdoors offer architectural emphasis for entrances to principal rooms. An overdoor may be as simple as an architectural cornice with a return to the wall, or be elaborated into a broken pediment framing an urn. It may be used in conjunction with pilasters or brackets, and may be constructed to accommodate a figured frieze, a transom light or a painting. An overdoor sits on top of the door casing like an elegant crown.

chair rail: a wall moulding that tops the dado and prevents chairs pushed against the wall from damaging the surface; also called a dado rail.
chair rails As Roman interpretation of the Classical Orders slowly seeped into the far corners of the Empire, the classical column was used as a distillation of perfect proportion, and was echoed in every aspect of architecture and decoration. The top of the column plinth became a chair rail by the early 1600s, and was used to cap the paneling that made up the dado with the dado itself meant to represent the body of the plinth. 341 FLUTED CHAIR RAIL 4 3/4"w x 7/8"p 344 PLAIN CHAIR RAIL 6"w x 1 1/2"p 384 CHAIR RAIL WITH FLORAL CAMEO 4"w x 3/4"p 386 CHAIR RAIL WITH LAMB S TONGUE, BEAD AND BARREL, EGG AND DART 5 1/2"w x 2"p 387 CHAIR RAIL WITH EGG AND DART 3 3/4"w x 1 1/4"p 388 CHAIR RAIL WITH LAMB S TONGUE 3 1/2"w x 2"p 22 Chair Rails
