Understanding architectural profiles
Tuesday, December 10, 2013 - 16:04
Here are the six mouldings that, with the addition of the band (flat profile), make up just about all profiles used in architecture and furniture.
Notice the difference between cyma recta and cyma reversa where the latter is shaped to be used as a support - in fact all the mouldings other than cyma recta are supports so that the coma recta would be used at the top of a series of moulding for example on an entablature or cornice.

It seemed like an odd request.
"We are milliners. Can you supply a piece of carved acanthus to develop into a hat?"
Then we realised it was Piers Atkinson, the most interesting and avant-garde milliners anywhere, so of course we were very intrigued! Piers Atkinson's hats have been adorned by an array of creative celebrities including Kate Moss, Paloma Faith, Lady Gaga and Cate Blanchett.
What wood carver wouldn't want their work used as a hat for Piers Atkinson!
