What is a "congé"?
In architecture, a congé refers to a decorative molding or curve that typically appears at the junction of two surfaces, often used to create a smooth transition. This element can be found in various architectural features, such as doorways, arches, or decorative edges, adding elegance and fluidity to the design. Congés can vary in size and complexity, enhancing the overall aesthetic of a space. Often made from materials like plaster, wood, or stone, they contribute to the richness and detail of architectural elements, helping to create a cohesive and harmonious appearance.
