Plaster Coving Large Regency 140mm Drop LPC027

We manufacture this original Georgian cornice in three sizes. This is our largest size with a drop of 140mm, nearly 6 inches, making it ideal for rooms with above-average ceiling heights. Classical architecture was the height of fashion in the Georgian period, and this cornice copies the stone pediments found on ancient Greek and Roman temples, Its individual elements include ogee curves and a drip moulding. 

Although plaster cornices such as this came into fashion in the Georgian period, they continued in use throughout the Victorian period and through into the Edwardian era. 

The ogee curve was used in internal joinery, such as skirting boards and architraves, from the Georgian period through to the present day, It is also widely used in furniture, both antique and modern.  

The result is that many people would not realise that a cornice like this has been in use for as long as it has, matching as it does, so many other elements in the house. 

This cornice will not look out of place in any house built during the last 250 years, nor will it look out of place in any room in the house. 

We have two other sizes of this cornice:

MPC067 is suitable for ceilings of an average height. SPC024 is suitable for ceilings of a below-average height. This means the same cornice can be used throughout a property, where different ceiling heights on different floors mean a larger or smaller cornice is needed.

As can be seen from the pictures and videos opposite, this cornice can completely transform a room. The before and after video demonstrates this point particularly well. 

Like all our plaster coving, each piece of our Regency coving is made entirely by hand using techniques and materials that have remained unchanged since Victorian times.
