Fillet

The term fillet refers to a strongly grooved, moulded recess, especially in profiles.

In the past, this recess was sanded into the material, but today the shape is very simply created with the help of a milling head on a table router.

In the photo you can see the cove in the cornice of the Swedish secretary shown.
