New Universal Moulding Book, Containing Latest Styles of Mouldings and Architectural Designs of Exterior and Interior Finish Rails, Balusters and ... Interior and Store Doors
The regular mouldings of Classical architecture are, foe fillet, or list; the astragal, or bead; the cyma reversa, or ogee; the cyma recta, or cyma; the cavetto, or hollow; the owlo, or quarter-round; the scotia, or trochilus; the torus, or round; each of these admits of some variety of form, and there is considerable difference in the manner of working them between the Greeks and Romans. They are represented on page v. The mouldings in Classical architecture are frequently enriched by being cut into leaves, eggs and tongues, or other ornaments, and sometimes the larger members have running patterns of honeysuckle or other foliage carved on them in low relief; the upper moulding of cornices is occasionally ornamented with a series of projecting lions heads. In middle age architecture, the diversities in the proportions and arrangements of the mouldings are very great, and it is scarcely possible to do more than point out a few of the leading and most characteristic varieties. In the Norman style the mouldings consist almost entirely of rounds and hollows, variously combined, with an admixture of splays, and a few fillets (page v., fig. C); the ogee and ovolo are seldom to be found, and the cyma recta scarcely ever ;in early work very few mouldings of any kind are met with, and it is not till the style is considerably advanced that they become numerous ;as they increase in number, their size is, for the most part, proportionably reduced. One of the most marked peculiarities of Norman architecture is the constant recurrence of mouldings broken into zig-zag lines ;it has not been very clearly ascertained at what period this kind of decoration was first introduced, but it was certainly not till some considerable time after the commencement of the style; when once adopted, it became more common than any other ornament, and it is frequently used in great profusion(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
