Premier Wood Greek Doric

The absence of a base and a simply versatile form are the defining characteristics of the Greek Doric Column. In terms of traditional architectural proportions, the Greek Doric Column also features a height of five and one-half shaft diameters. The oldest of Greek columns, the Doric is found in many ancient Mediterranean structures, perhaps the most famous being the Greek Parthenon.

Today, the Greek Doric is an excellent addition to building exteriors and interiors. Features such as traditional fluting add texture and detail to this column. We are glad to provide this column with and without tapering for an ideal appearance.

The distinguishing characteristic of the Greek Doric Order is the absence of a base and the height of the wood column in relationship to its diameter. When used in true architectural proportions, the height of the column, including capital and base, is five and one-half diameters.

Greek Doric wood columns in antiquity are found on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek Doric Wood Column may be ordered specifying Vignola's architecturally correct dimensions, or in custom combinations of height and diameter. If in search of a simpler version, these columns are also available unfluted or non-tapered.
