Plaster
In plaster-work mouldings may be cast in a mould or run by the strigil. When decorated, the former only is possible, and as such work is originally modelled, it is permissible to introduce details of a plastic nature, such as interrupting the run by imposed and enveloping floral or other forms.
Mechanically produced mouldings cannot be undercut, though this is practicable in plaster where the jelly mould is employed.
TURNED WOOD
No. 144.
Mouldings are used for decorative and divisional purposes in various materials, and to some extent their character is affected by the formative process involved.
