Ogee Coving & Cornice

The Ogee (or cyma recta) moulding is a double curve that resembles an "S": concave (cavetto) in the upper half and convex (ovolo) in the lower half.

It’s an attractive design because it creates small shadow lines on its surface. As you install Ogee coving, it’s important to consider & experiment with room lighting beforehand.

Look around your property because the Ogee curve is often present elsewhere!

It’s prominent in the fine pieces of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian homes, specifically within the kitchen area.

If the moulding is already present in a property then installing Ogee cornice instinctively looks right.

Ogee never goes out of fashion.
