CORINTHI is the ARABIC adjective of the widely known “Corinthian Columns” . The word “Corinthian” is derived from the name of the Greek city; Corinth. Even though Corinthian columns are commonly referred to old Greeks civilization, old middle-Easterns and old Egyptians (Pharaohs) were the pioneers in sculpturing various artistic shapes of columns including Corinthian-like columns which first commenced around 3500 years B.C.

Assyrians (Ancestors of Modern Syria-region and Iraq-region Arabs) and old Egyptians (Pharaohs) constructed wooden- and stone- decorated, aesthetic columns centuries prior to the Greek stone columns. The aesthetic columns were used to enrich the architectural image of Temples, Palaces, and distinctive governmental buildings.

The Assyrian and Pharaohs’ wooden columns were then used by old Greeks in Temples. Followingly, stone base was used to support the wooden columns. Later, complete stone columns composed of fixed segmental stone drums were used to construct various architectural columns including the CORINTHI columns.

In sculpturing the CORINTHI columns, high level of accuracy, taste of art, and workmanship were prerequisite characteristics in the craftsmen to practice such profession. Having these characteristics as CORINTHI’s undebatable standards of services, we found the name CORINTHI to be the most appropriate messenger of our team.
