  • What is this shape called?

    Just wondering you would call this shape or at least what it reminds you of?

    Brackets?

    4 of 'em.

    Quad Brackets?

    Omni-brackets?

    Full Bracketry?

    Fully Bracketed?

      It's kind of like many of the carved wood plaques or sign blanks that are often called shield shapes, but is not a true shield shape.

      Off the top of my head I would call it a scalloped rectangle, or better a pointed-scalloped rectangle.

        They are known as Chippendale Plaques - I know and I'm afraid to google it in work

          Everything I have seen on them just calls them fancy curved shapes.

          You would think it had an actual name

                Apparently named after Thomas Chippendale, who used similar shapes in his furniture designs.
