Ogee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (381 words) |
 | In architecture, the ogee shape is one of the characteristics of the Gothic style, especially decorative elements in the 14th and 15th century late Gothic styles called Flamboyant in France and Decorated in England. |
| An ogee is part of the "crown molding" that is frequently used at the top of a piece of case furniture, or capping a baseboard or plinth or where a wall meets the ceiling. |
| An ogee is also short for an ogee clock, a common kind of weight-driven 19th-century pendulum clock in a simplified Gothic taste, made in the United States for a mantelpiece or to sit upon a wall bracket. |
