| Moldings are narrow, decorative strips of wood
or plaster used around doors and windows and at
the structural intersections of walls. |
|
Six classic molding types include: |
|
|
 |
|
Cavetto, a concave,
semi-circle molding, where the top edge juts
over the bottom. |
|
|
 |
|
Cyma Recta, a slightly
rounded convex shape that bulges more near the
bottom. |
|
|
 |
|
Cyma Reversa, a slightly
rounded convex shape that bulges more near the
top. |
|
|
 |
|
Ovolo, a molding with a
quarter-elliptical profile. |
|
|
 |
|
Scotia, a receding, concave
molding where the bottom ridge juts in front of
the upper. |
|
|
 |
|
Torus, a bulbous,
semi-circular, convex shape. |
