Also benefitting from the same treatment were fireplace surrounds. The Cornices during this period also borrowed extensively from the ancient orders and most were run on site in situ, incorporating ornamental embellishments such as egg and dart, dentil and acanthus leaf designs, that were cast separately and attached to the cornice individually.
