This is your classic ogee picture rail molding profile.

You will find it in Traditional, Victorian and Craftsman style historic homes.

With such broad use, it’s certain to fit right in on your walls at home.

 Be Persistent When Buying

When you stride into your local millwork store to buy a picture rail molding, don’t be surprised if the sales person behind the counter has no idea what you’re asking for.

No idea.  None.

If “picture rail” does not work for them, then try “picture hanger.”

If those terms don’t work, then just be persistent.  That store may not keep picture rail in stock, but one of their suppliers almost certainly does.  They will just have to dig through their supply catalogs.
