CorinthianThe Corinthian column is defined by its festive capital, the most richly textured of the Classical Orders. The Corinthian column features a proportionally slender shaft crowned with a detailed capital enriched with acanthus and gracefully curling scrolls. |
Greek DoricThe Greek Doric column is the first of the Classical Orders, a characteristic reflected in the column’s versatile, simplified form and stocky un-tapered build. The Greek Doric column does not have a base and resists directly on the platform. The column includes crisp fluting that runs the length of the column, reaching from platform to simplified capital. |
IonicThe Ionic is the second column included in the Classical Order. The Ionic column, with its capital depicting a partially rolled scroll is the most unique and often considered the most elegant of the Classical columns. A proportionately elongated shaft resting on a detailed base accentuates the elegant design of the Ionic column. |
Roman DoricThe Roman Doric column is an enrichment of the Greek Doric. In response to a desire for greater ornamentation by the ancient Roman architects, the Doric column was refined and given elegant details, such as a base, astragal rings and an enriched capital. |
TuscanThe Tuscan Column is a later-day declaration of the ancient Roman architects; a simplified version of the original Greek Doric Column. The Tuscan is stocky in proportion. The shaft is unfluted and smooth. |
