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.

Le motif de la spirale est l'un des plus anciens symboles de l'humanité. Il évoque le mouvement perpétuel, la croissance, le renouveau et l'énergie vitale. Dans l'Égypte antique, la courbure du sceptre Héqa, attribut des pharaons, symbolisait l'autorité protectrice et la sagesse du souverain. Dans la tradition chrétienne, la crosse épiscopale, dont l'extrémité s'enroule en volute, représente la mission du pasteur guidant et protégeant son peuple. Présente également dans l'art celte, grec et Renaissance, la spirale exprime l'équilibre entre la force et l'harmonie, faisant de cette cimaise un ornement chargé d'histoire et de sens.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. III

    The finish

    Raw for on-site painting, or an atelier finish (wax, stain, gilding) depending on the level of prestige sought.

  4. 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.
