Scamozzi is classical style based on the Ionic Order. It is an Ionic
Capital with 4 scrolls (ie Volutes - a design mimicking a spiral Ram's
horn). The
style was created by
architect Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548 to 1616) and named accordingly
referenced in his treatise of 1615. The design solves the problem
of Ionic capitals on the corners of a building whereby the tubular Ionic
volutes on the sides extend from the front to the back of the capital
making it difficult to complete a corner. With 4 volutes, the capitals
transcend from the front to the sides of the building with ease. Columns
with Scamozzi capitals employ Attic
bases.
We can create exact
custom Historic Duplications of existing Capitals. The
Scamozzi capitals are
hollow with column shaft taking the load down from the lintel to the
substrate.
Specify Whole or Split for Post
Wrap or Pilaster applications. Non Wood composite capitals are made from
molds which includes
FRP-PolyCompTM,
GRG-NeoPlasterTM,
Fiberglass
ArchPolymerTM
and
GFRC-ZeamentTM.
These non-wood Scamozzi columns are available 5 Feet to 30 Feet up to
36" diameters. Custom Hardwood Scamozzi columns are made to a maximum of 36" diameter 3 to 24 Feet high in 24
hardwood species to any specified size with solid or hollow cores.
For load bearing applications we offer
White Oak Load Plugs that fit into the
hollow center of the capital or base.

round shafts, however the interior is square. They have 4 scrolls (ie Volutes - a design mimicking a spiral Ram's
horn). The

Attic Bases
Attic Bases are utilized
on all classical orders of columns and can be ordered separately. Specify split for post wrap,
split to engage a half column or wedged for corner placement.
For economical solutions:
Attic Bases made from
ArchPolymerTM,
a synthetic wood are lite weight, hollow, and decorative thus they do not hold
load as they wrap the
bottom of the column shaft.
Hardwood
Attic Bases are solid and hold load. We recommend White Oak for exterior
durability and hardness. Historic Reproductions are welcome for specific sizes.
Made up to 36" diameter.
The superior
material is
GFRC-ZeamentTM
is a Portland Cement with a very smooth finish. The Torus portion is
hollow to wrap around a column shaft, and the Plinth Frame
is strong to hold the load of the shaft.
