Chadsworth's Empire fiberglass composite PolyStone® Columns are reminiscent of how the
Romans mimicked the Greeks with their decorative capital designs.  The beautifully-crafted
Empire decorative capital is exquisitely similar to the Greek Angular Ionic decorative
capital – with exception to the distinguished detailing on the top portion of the capital.  This
 page offers the dimenions of our PolyStone® columns with an Empire capital and an
Ionic (Attic) Base Molding / Plinth.  Also browse the load-bearing capacities, wall
thicknesses and maximum supports.  Truly elegant classical architecture that will
certainly enhance the value of your exterior project or interior project.
