This attractive cornice features a pattern of Acanthus leaves, with a row of elongated plain leaves behind. 

Greek temples from which the Georgians and Victorians took inspiration for many of their designs, heavily featured Acanthus leaves. They appear on stone corbels and carved into their stone cornices.

Of a size suitable for ceilings of average height and maybe slightly above. This cornice is very popular with owners of Victorian and Edwardian houses. Where it can be used throughout the house. And as can be seen from the pictures opposite, it looks equally classy in a bedroom as it does in a living room.

It also looks just as good when styled in contemporary colours with contemporary furnishings as it does in a more traditional period interior.

A Plain spun ceiling rose, such as MPR073, is a very popular choice to complete the room.

If you are thinking of installing this plaster cornice yourself, we have a range of installation tools and materials. The website also has some helpful instructional videos.

We make every piece of this plaster cornice by hand, which is essential to get the crisp detail of the leaves. We still use the same materials and techniques that were used in Victorian times.
