Venetian plaster
Smooth marble-look finish
Venetian plaster is a wall finishing technique that produces a smooth, polished surface with the appearance of marble or natural stone.
The method involves applying multiple thin layers of plite, a mixture of slaked lime and marble dust, then burnishing the surface to create depth and a subtle sheen.
Originally developed in Venice, the technique became popular for creating elegant interior walls in grand buildings.
The foyer featured Venetian plaster walls with a warm golden hue.
