Editing Entablature (section)

=== Non-classical architecture ===
The entablature together with the system of classical columns occurs rarely outside classical architecture. It is often used to complete the upper portion of a wall where columns are not present, and in the case of [[pilaster]]s (flattened columns or projecting from a wall) or detached or [[engaged column]]s it is sometimes profiled around them.<ref>{{Cite Catholic Encyclopedia |wstitle=Entablature |volume=5 |first=homas Henry |last=Poole}}</ref> The use of the entablature, irrespective of columns, appeared after the Renaissance.
