Baroque shell ornament
Baroque shell ornament refers to a fan-shaped or shell applique architectural relief element (Rocaille motif) molded in high-density rigid polyurethane. Designed to establish a dramatic focal centerpoint inside curved wall alcove niches, directly over doorway headers, or within ceiling medallion friezes, polyurethane shell appliques avoid transportation breakage or installation snapping common to fragile plaster castings. Extremely lightweight, it adheres rapidly using construction mastic. Impervious to moisture rot for bathroom installation.
