antique column capitals
Antique column capitals are polyurethane capital elements placed on the upper part of a column, carrying the classical ornaments of antique orders such as Doric, Ionic or Corinthian. They are used in classical interiors on decorative or load-bearing columns as a transition and finishing element. Polyurethane capitals are lightweight and are fixed to the column shaft with assembly adhesive; they resist moisture and impact, do not crack or swell and can be painted. Being lighter than stone and plaster equivalents makes overhead installation easier. Fine details such as the acanthus leaf on Corinthian capitals are mould-produced and repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces antique column capitals in different order and size options.
