History of Scagliola

The term scagliola (pronounced scălliōla, with a silent g) derives from the Italian ‘scaglia’, a local name used in the Italian Alps for limestone (Oxford English Dictionary, 2012). Scagliola is a form of plaster, traditionally gypsum, which imitates decorative stone and has been widely used for the decoration of walls, columns, floors, fireplaces and table tops.  Artificial forms of decorative stone based on gypsum or lime plaster have a long history and were widely used in the ancient world. Recipes for their production can even be found in the works of the great Roman architect, Vitruvius.  I'm honored to announce I carry on this beautiful tradition and artwork and offer my service to create or build any masterpiece.

While easily mistaken for stone, the finishing technique is nothing more than plaster applied to a wood, stone, or brick substrate—with the principle ingredient being a form of gypsum known as Scagliola, which is mined in northern Italy. Warmer to the touch and sounding hollow when tapped, there are a few signs that instantly give away this marbling techniques secret but the addition of marble flakes, dust, and pieces makes it near impossible to tell the difference from afar.
