The Greek Doric Order - Decorative Wood Columns
 |
Greek Doric Columns are some of the most unique columns in architectural history. Found on such notable structures as the Parthenon, these classic columns were the first style used by Grecian architects. Distinguished by their shallow flutes that come to a point, Greek Doric columns are the only columns featured without base.
To be historically accurate and follow Giacomo da Vignola’s architectural dimensions, the height of the Greek Doric columns should be five and one-half times the diameter of its shaft, this is total height included the disk like capital.
The Greek Doric Column may be ordered specifying Vignola’s architecturally correct dimensions, or in custom combinations of any height and diameter. If in search of simpler version, these columns are also available smooth or non-tapered.
