CORNICE (Fr. corniche, Ital. cornice)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 173 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORNICE (Fr. corniche, Ital. cornice) , in
architecture
 , the
projection
  at the top of a
wall
 , which is provided to throw off the rain water from the roof, beyond the
face
  of the building. As employed in classic
architecture
  it forms the upper
part
  of the
entablature
  of an order, and is there subdivided into bed mould, corona and cymatium. The
term
  is also generally applied to any moulding
projection
  which crowns the feature to which it is attached; thus doors and windows, internally as well as externally, have each their cornice, and the same applies to pieces of furniture (see also MASONRY).
