[Illustration: No. 141. Part of Dresser. Applied mouldings on drawer fronts.] _Bolection Moulding_ When boldness in appearance is required the type known as the Bolection Moulding may be used. This, in its orthodox form, is a species of inner frame between the main framing of the stiles and rails, and the panels, but was more commonly an applied moulding. [Illustration: No. 142. Bolection Moulding.] In any case, it is worked independently, and its outer edges lap the framing, on which it is in relief, resulting in strong effect of light and shade. Panel mouldings may be decorated by carving with the orthodox enrichments or variants based on them, but should always be in contrast to the panels they enclose. In furniture, mouldings play an important part, and in many positions can be regulated by functional considerations. In horizontal positions, such as in tables and sideboards, where personal contact is possible, any moulded edges should be of softly rounded character for obvious reasons. [Illustration: TABLE TOP MOULDINGS No. 143.] _Plaster_ In plaster-work mouldings may be cast in a mould or run by the strigil. When decorated, the former only is possible, and as such work is originally modelled, it is permissible to introduce details of a plastic nature, such as interrupting the run by imposed and enveloping floral or other forms. Mechanically produced mouldings cannot be undercut, though this is practicable in plaster where the jelly mould is employed. [Illustration: TURNED WOOD No. 144.] Mouldings are used for decorative and divisional purposes in various materials, and to some extent their character is affected by the formative process involved. _Wood-turning_ Thus in wood-turning the general profiles are kept fairly soft, taking usually, as in the case of stair rails and furniture legs, the baluster form. As a rule there is little variation between the maximum and minimum diameters. The baluster shafts have bases and capitals of curved profiles, with intervening fillets, which latter may be fairly sharp, as they are by their position protected from damage. _Metal Turning_ Turning is also employed in metal work, the stems and bodies of Dutch candelabra, both standard and hanging, being originally cast as to general form and finished in the lathe. [Illustration: THROWN MOULDED THROWN & TURNED POTTERY No. 145.] The general treatment is similar to that of wood-turning, except that the material being much harder, the mouldings can be more sharply defined and delicate in detail. _Pottery_ The throwing of pottery is analagous to turning, but by this method little more can be accomplished than thickened edges. The Greek vases show some precision of profile, the result of turning on a lathe after the vessel had been formed on the wheel. [Illustration: No. 146. Moulded Vase in Terra-cotta.]
