Greek Revival Style Mouldings | Custom

Greek Revival mouldings draw their distinctive character from the profiles and proportions of ancient Greek architecture. Echinus curves, elliptical forms, beak mouldings, fillets, and chamfers create a varied vocabulary of rounded contours, crisp edges, and flat surfaces. These shapes reflect the renewed interest in Greek precedents that influenced American architecture during the early nineteenth century.

In Greek Revival interiors, carefully proportioned trim brings definition to door and window surrounds, cornices, and base treatments. Broad, plain surfaces allow the shaped mouldings to stand out, while more decorative interpretations introduce classical motifs such as palmettes, honeysuckle blossoms, and volutes. This range accommodates both restrained interiors and more elaborate architectural compositions.
