A Ceiling Cornice is a decorative moulding fitted at the junction between a wall and ceiling, providing an elegant visual transition while concealing structural joints. Cornices have been an important architectural feature since Classical Antiquity and range from simple Georgian profiles to richly ornamented Victorian plasterwork incorporating dentils, egg-and-dart mouldings and acanthus decoration. Original cornices contribute greatly to the architectural integrity of period interiors.
