Free Vintage Clip Art - Gorgeous Pilaster Designs

Stunning Pilaster Designs

What's a pilaster you ask?  Pilasters are slightly projecting columns built into or onto a wall.  They were and are used to give the appearance that they are a supporting element of the wall but are only decorative.

Pilasters usually appear on the side of a door or window frame.

This first example of a pilaster is Venetian.  How intricate!
