We made this plain run cornice for a customer restoring a Victorian house in Cheltenham, Much of the cornice had been damaged or removed, but there was enough left for us to take a mould and recreate the original.

Once fitted, the cornice looked like it had always been there, and the customer was delighted. We too were pleased and decided to add it to our standard range of Victorian cornices.

As can be seen from the pictures opposite, it fits perfectly into a period property. Like many Victorian cornices, it looks particularly good on the external corners. As can be seen here around a chimney breast.

With a drop of 130mm (just under 6 inches) and a projection of 165mm (just over 6 inches), it is the ideal size for typical Victorian ceiling heights which were higher than many of todays.

Although originally a Victorian design, this is one of those cornices that doesn't look out of place anywhere, as long as you have the necessary ceiling height. It can also be used throughout a property not looking out of place in any room of the house.

If you are also replacing ceiling roses a plain spun ceiling rose such as LPR074 will go very well with this cornice.

A plain cornice like this is one of our easier cornices to fit, and if you're planning on installing it yourself, we have a full range of installation tools and materials on the website, along with some helpful instructional videos.

All our plaster cornice is made by hand. We mould each piece individually, still using the same techniques and materials that were used in Victorian times.
