General Definitions of Cornices
- In classical architecture, the ornamental molding at the top of a wall, typically under the eaves, is divided into three parts: the architrave below, the frieze in the middle and the cornice above. Informally, however, the term cornice is used to describe all three of these moldings.
- Made of painted or stained wood, or a fabric covered foam fascia. The bottom can be straight or shaped. They are installed above a window to conceal the hardware much like a valance.
