The Story of Corinthian

Corinthian derives from Corinth, an ancient Greek city-state renowned for its strategic location, vast wealth, and distinctive architectural style. The city was a center of trade and culture, influencing the Hellenistic world. The 'Corinthian order' of architecture, with its ornate acanthus leaf capitals, became a hallmark of classical design, adopted and adapted through centuries by Roman and Renaissance builders. This name carries the echo of that sophisticated legacy.
