Scope Of Work

Plaster and Scagliola Restoration

I have chosen to feature this project because even though we completed the work over 15 seasons back the work today remains in perfect condition. In fact the new photos that you see on this page have just been taken in May 2016. 

When we were first given the task of restoring the 100 year old plaster at the Carnegie Library the onetime magnificent work was in deplorable condition. The photos in the gallery will confirm this. The Scagliola columns, (masterpieces in their own right) had been written on, broken, glued and almost destroyed. The plaster cornice work was broken in many areas and the many of the teeth on the dental molding had been broken. Everything was painted multiple times over the years. All of that paint had to be removed without causing further damage to the plaster before any restoration work could be attempted.

The Scagliola, (Plaster - faux marble) was restored with a combination of lime putty plaster and liquid coloring agents imported from Italy.    

You can view the end result in the photo library. The magnificent work has been restored and will hopefully last another 100+ years.
