COFFERED CEILINGS
You can use different moldings to make the coffered ceiling
your own. I used the same baseboard that was in the house to
make the rosettes on the intersections.

A coffer (or coffering) in
architecture, is a sunken panel
in the shape of a square,
rectangle, or octagon in a
ceiling, soffit or vault. A
series of these sunken panels
were used as decoration for a
ceiling or a vault, also called
caissons, or lacunaria, while a
coffered ceiling was sometime
called a lacunar. The stone
coffers of the ancient Greeks
and Romans are the earliest
surviving examples. Wooden
coffers were first made by the
crossing the wooden beams of
a ceiling in the Loire Valley
châteaus of the early
Renaissance.
Experimentation with the
possible shapes of coffering,
which solve problems of
mathematical tiling, or
tesselation, were a feature of
Renaissance architecture. The
more complicated problems of
diminishing the scale of the
individual coffers were
presented by the requirements
of curved surfaces of vaults
and domes.
A prominent example of
Roman coffering, employed to
lighten the weight of the dome,
can be found in the ceiling of
the rotunda dome in the
Pantheon, Rome.

Definition of a
coffer:
coffer:
Coffered ceilings are at
the high end of jobs
performed by a finish
carpenter. First the ceiling
is marked out. Then I
attach a system of
specially made brackets to
the ceiling. The beams and
moldings are then
constructed around these
brackets.
I can construct whatever
design you like. For that
extra touch of class stain
grade oak panels can be
placed in the center.
