The piece in detail
Chair rails & friezes
A piece shaped with care,
from log to finish.
Historically used to organize reception rooms or protect walls, today they bring unique relief and three-dimensional depth to both contemporary and classical spaces.
Picture rails and friezes structure the wall, emphasise a ceiling height and give rhythm to a run of rooms. Sold by the linear metre, they join with mitre cuts to run unbroken around the whole perimeter.
- I
The profile
The profile is drawn from a template after the repertoires (spirals, Greek keys, ovolos) or designed bespoke to match your existing cornice.
- II
Carving by the metre
Lengths are carved continuously to guarantee the motif carries from one bar to the next — no visible joint once installed.
- III
The finish
Raw for on-site painting, or an atelier finish (wax, stain, gilding) depending on the level of prestige sought.
- IV
The setting-out
On request, the atelier provides a setting-out of lengths and angles to make installation easier for your joiner.

Care
Surface-mounted, picture rails are dusted with a feather duster or dry cloth. Inner corners are cleaned with a soft brush.
On a painted finish, a local touch-up with a brush is enough after a knock; the atelier can supply the original tint.
