If you travel through Queen Street Station in Glasgow on your daily commute. Stop for a moment and take a look up. This is what the capitals on the 1870s cast iron columns which support its roof look like!

Love these column capitals featuring the prows of long boats on the second phase of the Clyde Navigation Trust building on the Broomielaw in Glasgow.

Really not too sure what's going on with the column capital on the former Carsewell Fishing Gut Company building on York Street in Glasgow. Built in 1901, it was designed by Neil C. Duff.

Love the bird-like creatures emerging from the foliage on this Corinthian capital on the Liverpool and London and Global Building on St Vincent Street in Glasgow.

I think it's safe to say that Glasgow probably has the only Nike store in the world with column capitals thought to have been designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh!

Love this unusual, ornate and rather appropriate column capital in the former Institition of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Glasgow. Designed by John B. Wilson and constructed in 1907, the building's now occupied by Scottish Opera.

Mackintosh is said to have designed what were described at the time as its brilliantly executed and surprising individual internal column capitals.

The building it's in at 20 Buchanan Street was designed by John Hutchison and his chief assistant Andrew Black in the late 1880s when Mackintosh was serving the final year of his apprenticeship in Hutchison's office.

Two states of one column side by side: the plain shaft from the mould and the same column finished with a neoclassical capital and base. 20-60 cm.

Five column capitals, 20 to 60 cm wide, the same Corinthian detail at five scales. Hollow polyurethane castings, light enough to lift by hand and ready to paint. polure.eu
