In architecture, a cornice (from the Italian cornice meaning "ledge" [1]) is generally any horizontal decorative moulding that crowns a building or furniture element—for example, the cornice over a door or window, around the top edge of a pedestal, or along the top of an interior wall. A simple cornice may be formed just with a crown, as in crown moulding atop an interior wall or above kitchen cabinets or a bookcase.

The cavetto took the place of the cymatium in many Etruscan temples, often painted with vertical "tongue" patterns, and combined with the distinctive "Etruscan round moulding", often painted with scales. [8] A typical example may be seen at the reconstructed Etruscan temple at Villa Giulia.Orac Decor® ceiling mouldings are immediately paintable, as they are supplied with a white primer layer.

In residential building practice, this function is handled by projecting gable ends, roof eaves and gutters. However, house eaves may also be called "cornices" if they are finished with decorative moulding. In this sense, while most cornices are also eaves (overhanging the sides of the building), not all eaves are usually considered cornices. Eaves are primarily functional and not necessarily decorative, while cornices have a decorative aspect. Harris, Cyril M. (2003). American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia. W. W.

A sleek, small, S shaped or ogee coving profile, with a single detail line running along one edge. Ideal for small rooms. A rake is an architectural term for an eave or cornice which runs along the gable of the roof of a modern residential structure. It may also be called a sloping cornice, a raking cornice. The trim and rafters at this edge are called rakes, rake board, rake fascia, verge-boards, barge-boards or verge- or barge-rafters. [3] It is a sloped timber on the outside facing edge of a roof running between the ridge and the eave. [4] On a typical house, any gable will have two rakes, one on each sloped side. The rakes are often supported by a series of lookouts (sometimes also called strong arms) and may be trimmed with a rake fascia board (which is not a true fascia) on the outside facing edge and a rake soffit along the bottom. Integrated variable width insulated pelmet helps create the orangery look for less internally and provides housing for spotlights and speakers.

The term cornice may also be used to describe a form of hard window treatment along the top edge of a window. When used in this context, a cornice represents a board (usually wood) placed above the window to conceal the mechanism for opening and closing drapes. If covered in a layer of cloth and given padding, it is sometimes called a soft cornice rather than a hard cornice. Our ceiling cornices are perfect for renovation work. After all, they will cover any imperfections in the wall and/or ceiling in no time. Our flexible coving " ORAC Flex" are excellent for anyone working with curved ceilings or crooked walls.

Inspired by this precedent, it was then revived by Ardashir I (r. 224–41 AD), the founder of the Sasanian dynasty. [7]
