<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 175089, member: 25"]That piece has a chamfer to the top edge leading down, indicating it was made to be viewed from above. The top is not the widest part until the chamfer ends an inch or so down. A true corniche top has the widest part at the highest point, and usually any moulding is concave, not convex like the smaller chest you show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
