Picture rail. Continuing our journey up, closer to the top of the wall you'll find the picture rail. This trim piece originally served as a support to hang pictures on, as plaster walls weren't the best and could be easily damaged by all of those picture hooks nailed into the wall. Of course, with
inexpensive pictures hooks that can be easily nailed into a wall to support just about any size picture, the picture rail has lost its utilitarian function. Now this piece of trim is used mostly as a decorative element to divide the wall into horizontal layers.
I like the unique styling of the trim and molding: esp the wall column and how it is connected to both the wainscoting and picture rail motifs
The window molding design is interesting too

hanging pictures may be visible or hidden. In this case, the wire and hooks of this picture are visibly hanging from the picture rail.
I'm having a hard time finding decent hooks and cords for our artwork. The picture rail has been painted so many times it's also hard to get a good fit. The ones pictured seem pretty heavy duty. Thanks!
stained picture rail set down from the ceiling. The wall above the picture rail is painted the ceiling color (white). You can go to your local millwork supplier and buy stain grade picture rail.
