Egg-and-Dart Moulding is one of the most recognisable decorative motifs in classical architecture, consisting of alternating oval (\'egg\') and pointed (\'dart\') forms. Originating in Ancient Greece, it became widely used throughout Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture on cornices, ceiling roses, mirrors, furniture and fireplaces. It remains an enduring symbol of Neo-Classical design. *Related Terms*\ Ceiling Rose, Classical Architecture, Cornice, Dentil Moulding, Neo-Classicism.
