The following mouldings represent a broad spectrum of architectural periods and styles. They were collected from books, magazines, and historic sites around the country. In creating this section, it was impossible to include all mouldings from a certain period. Therefore, the profiles presented here reflect Belle Artae’s choices for the best representation of a particular period or style.
While historically appropriate, all mouldings presented here may not be absolutely authentic. In some instances, the profiles have had to be modified in order to reduce prohibitive material costs and/or to enable them to be manufactured using today’s machinery. These modifications are minimal, however, and do not detract from the true historic flavor of the mouldings.
Other historic profiles not shown here may better suit the requirements of a particular restoration/reproduction project. In such cases, Belle Artae™ can usually create a custom moulding which will achieve a reasonable authenticity and which can be made using modern milling techniques. Such custom designs normally involve a knife grinding charge. Contact a Belle Artae™ professional for more information on custom mouldings.
