French Colonial Style Mouldings

French Colonial mouldings reflect the simple, practical millwork found in early French settlements in North America. Traditionally formed from straightforward boards, these profiles often incorporate restrained details such as beads and quirks, while more elaborate examples use coves, quarter rounds, ogees, and ovolos for added architectural detail.

Rather than relying on heavily ornamented trim, French Colonial interiors create architectural interest through proportion and the combination of simple boards with shaped mouldings. The profiles below follow that approach, providing understated detail for door and window surrounds, baseboards, wall treatments, and other interior applications.
