Does anyone recognise this coving?

http://images1.fotopic.net/?iid=yt3z...ze=1&nostamp=1

I need to make good a few pieces in the hall. I actually found a
remnant of this in its original box when wemoved in to the house, but
like an idiot I threw i away.

When it comes to original period coving its not about recognising the coving
its finding out who does it? and the chances of a firm doing a particular
type of coving is like looing for a needle in a haystack.

If you where to take a piece of that to a coving maker specialist they would
make you some lenghts at a high price,they would then add that profile to
their range and any other profiles that come their way.

Best thing you can do is since its in the hall put corbels on either side of
hall and that coving you take away fit in the damaged area?

But then again there might not be.

Sheesh! why do people do that? post a link without having surfed through the
site for the part or profile of an item.

The chances of finding an exact match to a Victorian coving are remote as
it was made locally - same as the joinery. So even a design which is
roughly similar will vary in dimensions.

If you need an exact match for repair purposes you'll need to have it
cast using what you have as a mould. Even this can be tricky due to the
layers of paint usually present. You have to decide whether to clean it
all off or cast something to match what exists.

In practice due to labour costs it's often cheaper to replace the lot
with new reproduction stuff of a similar design. But 'cheaper' is
relative...

Exactly,there is another way...any neighbours having a rip out and getting
rid of the coving in the hallway. ;-)

If you've got neighbours like that - move.

Hi Dave - it's not Victorian. The house was only built in 1963, and I
think the coving is more recent than that. It's modern coving, and I'm
hoping it may still be available.

Sorry, should have made that clear.

Can you post a pic of the damaged area?

Possibly because they expect the OP to do some of the work since it them
that needs the coving. Even if there is not a direct match, they may
also see something that could be used to compliment what is already there.

ah that's better!

3 queries:-
can you tell what's it made of ?
also does it sound hollow or sound "solid"?
is the lower "leafy" bit vertical (i.e. stuck to wall)? if so could
be two sections used together...

It's plaster, it's solid, and is one piece.

I've been making a few enquiries online - so far a couple of places
have offered to replicate it for me, but I'm still trying to find out
what it *is*, in the hope of finding some stock of it.
