Ornate Crown (Egg-and-Dart and Carved)
Molded ornament such as egg-and-dart, scroll, or floral. It makes the ceiling line a feature.
What it looks like
The pattern is in the mold, so it repeats. You are not carving each leaf on site.
Where it belongs
Formal rooms and entries. A small egg-and-dart can still sit in an ordinary ceiling if the height stays modest.
Size
Height is the face down the wall. Projection is how far the stick stands off the wall. Match both to the ceiling, and outdoors to the eave. The ranges are on the crown size guide.
Corners
Inside corners can be two miters or a cope. Outside corners are miters. Dentil and carved repeats have to land on the joint. See crown corners and coping.
Casing and base
Do not put a heavily carved crown over a flat one-inch casing. Step the casing and base up, or the ceiling looks borrowed.
Profiles in this style

The rest of this face is in decorative crown moulding.
