Gorgeous Antique Green Painted Carved Architectural Molding - 41 Inches William Palmer illustration and reminds me in mannerI find this just about the most gorgeous and satisfying salvaged architectural element I have ever seen antique, hand carved, and with at least two layers of paint on it, the top layer this fantastic old green, just about an exact match of the matte green arts and crafts glaze I love so much, though even more lush and satisfying for its crusty surface. Wow. The piece is 41 3 8" long, so about 3 1 2 feet, and, myself, I'd just hang it straight across
