Corinthian Capitals

Although the main plastering was done some months back, the hallway-arch was left until later. The main reason for this was that it took us time to decide what we wanted! At first, we couldn't seem to find all the right elements in the arches we saw on display -- but then one of the suppliers said that we could mix-and-match any design elements, as they could make anything we wanted. So I did a design drawing in AutoCAD (which the plaster-supplier also used!) and emailed the order to them. The CAD drawing is shown below.

Like the Victorians did 120 years ago, we have copied design elements from Classical Architecture, the most obvious of which are columns with Corinthian capitals.
