Astragal

Several centuries later, the castle, called Seton Castle, retains the period detail, with astragal windows, ceiling plasterwork and unique chimneypieces. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The ingots of tin were in the form of an astragal, and an ancient ingot of large size dredged up in Falmouth Harbour, weighing 150 lbs., resembled the letter H in form. ❋ Robert Naylor (N/A)

Fig. 265 is a rebated joint with loose tongue-slip and astragal mould, suitable for frames over 1-1/4 in. in thickness. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

At the bottom the capital should be of the thickness of the top of the column omitting the congé and astragal. ❋ Vitruvius Pollio (N/A)

In the former case the stiles are rebated (as already shown in Fig. 260), whilst at Fig. 262 an astragal bead is glued to the right-hand stile. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

The style of carving of the cymatium with its astragal should be the Lesbian. ❋ Vitruvius Pollio (N/A)

Above the cymatium of the lintel, place the frieze of the doorway, of the same height as the lintel, and having a Doric cymatium and Lesbian astragal carved upon it. ❋ Vitruvius Pollio (N/A)

Fig. 256 shows the meeting of two doors which open outwards, a separate piece of timber being made to form a rebated astragal mould (F) and glued to the right-hand door. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

The height of the capital is to be such that, of the nine and a half parts, three parts are below the level of the astragal at the top of the shaft, and the rest, omitting the abacus and the channel, belongs to its echinus. ❋ Vitruvius Pollio (N/A)

Fig. 257 is similar to the above, with the exception that the rail of the door is rebated (G) to receive the astragal moulding. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

An enlarged section of the astragal mould which is grooved to fit on the bar which forms the rebate is also shown. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

Let three of these compose the first fascia with its astragal, four the second, and five the third, the fasciae with their astragals running side by side all round. ❋ Vitruvius Pollio (N/A)

Fig. 258 illustrates the type of joint made by using a brass astragal mould (H) as employed on high-class work, frequently seen on French furniture of the Louis periods. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

In Fig. 259 is shown a piece of brass astragal moulding, which may be procured from any cabinetmaker's ironmonger in suitable lengths. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

It consisted of a bead or _astragal_ and echinus, over which was a horizontal band ending on either side in a scroll or volute, the sides of which presented the aspect shown in Fig. 29. ❋ Unknown (1890)

The shaft was made to contract about one-sixth in diameter toward the capital, under which it was terminated by an _astragal_ or collar of small mouldings; at the base it ended in a slight flare and fillet called the _cincture_. ❋ Unknown (1890)

It forms an astragal under the cavetto cornice and runs down the angles of the pylons and walls. ❋ Unknown (1890)

Examine again the hawk's-beak, the egg-and-dart, the leaf-and - dart, the astragal, the guilloche, the honeysuckle, the meander or fret. ❋ Frank Bigelow Tarbell (1886)

The curves bear a distant resemblance to the volutes of a capital; above this base appears a ring or astragal, the origin of which may be easily guessed. ❋ Georges Perrot (1873)

-- I have already given all the requisite instructions, to the Artist, particularly explaining to him, that your columns are of brick, and to Subjoin the astragal, including the Cavetto & Listel, as you have pointed out to me. ❋ Unknown (1824)
