This cornice is fabricated in three separate piece. The two end pieces are 96 inches wide and are joined together by the center medallion. It was designed in this manner for ease of transportation and well as installation. The medallion not only adds a decorative element but also hides the joint where the two cornice pieces meet. The generous side panels soften the cornice and anchors it to the room. The scale of this treatment is very key. The width, as indicated above is sixteen feet and the length is 36 inches on either end and 24 inches in the middle with the medallion measuring three feet from point to point.
This room was designed by Sarah Marsh.
