Venetian plaster is a wall and ceiling finish using thin layers of plaster applied with a spatula or trowel which are then burnished to create a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and texture, such as marble or granite. The Venetian plaster techniques we use include marmorino, scagliola, and sgraffito. This finish creates a magnificent depth and richness of color.
Marmorino Veneziano is a plaster decoration used on walls. It was used as far back as Roman times, but was made popular once more during the Renaissance 500 years ago in Venice.
It is made from crushed marble and lime putty, which can be tinted to give a wide range of colors. This can then be applied to make many textures, from polished marble to natural stone effects. Its waterproofing and anti-bacterial qualities as well as visual effects have also made it very desirable for luxury bathrooms and other wet areas. Not confined to interior use, it can be seen on the exterior of many buildings to great effect.
Our decorators will work with you to design concepts that can include the application of Venetian Plaster and Plaster products to a large variety of surfaces, such as Columns, Panels, Counter Tops, Doors, and Kitchen Cabinets.
