Abstract:
An ornamental modular columnar moulding system having a groove and spline that joins two or more modular moulding pieces together to form a unitary columnar moulding that can be readily attached to a surface of a piece of furniture, cabinet, frame, or the like. Each modular moulding piece includes an end surface that conforms to an end of another modular moulding piece such that the end surfaces align when positioned to make end-to-end contact with each other. Each modular moulding piece has a substantially planar surface and a front surface. When two or more moulding pieces are aligned end-to-end, the planar surfaces align and the touching front surfaces form an ornamental columnar moulding. Each back surface includes a longitudinally positioned groove that also aligns with at least portions of the grooves on other moulding pieces. A spline, which may be rounded or partially rounded or other shape, is fitted within the groove at least by and between each aligned and contacting modular moulding piece in order to form one unitary columnar ornamental moulding suitable for adhering to a surface of furniture and the like with virtually no gaps or misalignment between the adjoining modular pieces.
