Ionic-900

The distinguishing features of the Ionic Order are the scrolls that decorate the capital of the column. These scrolls derived their intriguing shape from the shell of the Nautilus. The most common representations of the Ionic Order include 24 flutes separated by fillets that are about one-third their width. Ionic shafts are placed on decorative Attic bases. Customarily, the Ionic Order column height including cap and base is nine diameters. A prime example of the Ionic Order as it was used in Rome is the Temple of Fortuna Virilis.

Ionic Columns are available in fluted or unfluted versions. They may be ordered in Vignola's architectural proportions as described above or in custom combinations of column lengths and widths as well as in non-tapered cylinders. Square Architectural Columns and Pilasters to match detail of Round Tapered Columns are available.
