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 dit « grec », également appelé clé grecque, est un ornement ancestral inspiré de l’Antiquité hellénique. Il symbolise traditionnellement l’infini, la continuité et l’unité, par son tracé linéaire sans rupture, se déployant en un mouvement perpétuel. Très utilisé dans l’architecture grecque puis romaine, il a traversé les siècles pour orner palais, villas néoclassiques et grands bâtiments institutionnels, notamment au XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. On le retrouve aujourd’hui dans les décors d’inspiration néoclassique, les musées, les hôtels particuliers ou encore les intérieurs contemporains qui cherchent à renouer avec une élégance intemporelle et une géométrie harmonieuse.

  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.

Fine, pale grain

A soft, even-grained wood, ideal for fine carving and pieces meant to be painted or gilded. Light and stable, it is the atelier's reference species.

Bold, golden figure

The quintessential noble French wood. Hard, durable, with its recognisable figure, it lends prestige and patina to reception-room panelling.

A translucent tint that colours the wood without masking its grain. Ideal to warm a pale species or even out a tone.
Wax+15%

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.
