This type of plaster cornice recreates the carved stone cornices of the temples of ancient Greece and Rome. When Palladium architecture and classical architectural features became the height of fashion in the Georgian period, a cornice such as this was the preserve of only the very wealthy. 

In Victorian times, the introduction of flexible materials from which cornice moulds could be made allowed this type of cornice to be made off-site and supplied in lengths to builders. They were now within the price range of Victorian detached and semi-detached houses, and even some larger terraces. 

Typically, a cornice such as this would be used in an entrance hall, where it would have the maximum impact upon visitors, with cheaper, less decorative cornices used in the rest of the house. 

Today we are no longer bound by the norms of Victorian interior design, and this cornice is hugely popular with customers wishing to create their own style throughout the house. 

With a drop of 90mm (just under four inches), this cornice is suitable for average and below average ceiling heights. We also make two larger sizes, LPC019 and LPC024, which are suitable for high and above- average ceiling heights, respectively. 

Each piece of this plaster cornice is made by hand, using the same techniques and materials that were used in Victorian times. 

HOW MUCH SHOULD I ORDER?

If you measure your plaster coving needs and order an exact amount, one wall could end up being finished in small off-cuts. To avoid this, we recommend you order 15% extra to ensure longer lengths are used wherever possible, as this will create a better finish. This coving comes in 2.2m lengths.

Product Questions

Answers to common questions about sizing, delivery, and suitability.

What are the Dimensions of this Product ?

Coving projection and drop are the two essential measurements for installation: the projection is the distance the coving extends across the ceiling from the wall, while the drop is the vertical distance it extends down the wall from the ceiling.

For this product, the projection and drop are measured in millimetres:

  • Projection: 95mm
  • Drop: 90mm
  • Length: 2.2m

How quickly can I have delivery ?

We use our own vans and drivers to deliver coving. Our products are fragile and need to be handled carefully.

Using our own transport ensures your coving arrives in good condition and customers are kept up to date with progress on the day of delivery. We deliver to the vast majority of the UK within five working days, often sooner.

If you live in an isolated area, deliveries will be less frequent than somewhere like the centre of London, where we have multiple vans every day. If you have an urgent delivery requirement, please call our customer services team at 0333 043 1471, who will be able to tell you our latest delivery schedules.
