Decorative or structural work made from cement, often used in building construction or artistic applications.
A compound word combining 'cement' (from Latin 'caementum') and 'work' (from Old English 'werc'). This term emerged in the 19th century as cement became a common building material.
Cementwork became super popular in Victorian and Art Deco architecture—ornamental cement panels and decorative borders were cheaper than carved stone but could create equally stunning effects!
