Recessed celing trims - looking for the impossible?
Discussion
Can anyone help? At Paolow Castle the kitchen has a recessed element which currently is unadorned with any kind of trim. It looks pretty boring and I want to jazz it up. From looking yesterday I have found the kind of thing I am hoping to achieve - which is this:

The trouble is try as I might I cannot find a single trim piece that does what I am after. No amount of keyword searches give me any inspiration. I can find plenty of coving etc - so I am thinking its possible that the above is two pieces - the flat element bonded to the ceiling and then coving mounted to it gving a homogenous appearance.
The trouble with that is that I dont know how strong the coved element will be - probably not very as it will only be supported at one end - and it will be fiddly as hell trying to get everything to line up / match up.
So I am back to looking for a single moulding that does the above - but I just cant find any. Surely they must exist? Maybe I am just using the wrong keywords but I have really tried.
So does anyone know of a product that does what I am after before I try to get my head round trying to do it from scratch?
Thanks!

This place does a huge range and also custom mouldings. I can confirm that the quality of what I bought from them for wall up lighting decorative coving was excellent https://www.hm-online.co.uk/
Thanks everyone - and thanks for the links too - really useful and I have digested all.
It was a really useful sanity check - I think I am left with the plan of buying two lots of trims (I like the polyurethane ones from HM) and effectively have a two stage approach. 1) fix the flatter trim to the ceiling, 2) mount the upright coving to this.
Knocking up a buck as the video suggested is a good idea - I dont have a nailer but can pick a trim that will have enough 'meat' to take a small screw while the adhesive goes off.
I'm not really massively looking forward to the job - but if I take my time it should turn out alright
