An Egg-and-Dart Ceiling Rose is a decorative plaster ceiling rose incorporating the classical egg-and-dart moulding, one of the most recognisable motifs in Greek and Roman architecture. Popular throughout the Georgian, Regency and Victorian periods, these ceiling roses provide an elegant transition between a chandelier or pendant light and the ceiling while enhancing the architectural character of an interior. *Related Terms*\ Ceiling Rose, Classical Architecture, Cornice, Egg-and-Dart Moulding, Plasterwork.
