Scagliola: First appearing in ancient Rome, Scagliola developed
into a sophisticated art in the hands of brilliant artisans in the
Baroque buildings of 17th century Italy. Crushing stones
such as alabaster and selenite into powder and adding natural
binders, Scagliola aims to use mineral stones as though clay.
Once a highly revered medium for columns, ornament and
elaborate table tops.
