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.
