VENETIAN PLASTER FINISHES - Enduring elegance, an old world technique...
Venetian Plaster finishes have caught the attention of Interior Designers and Architects worldwide. All over Europe, you will find walls of marble and stone. In Venice however, it was impossible to use these materials for the walls of any structure built in water, since they had to be constructed as lightweight as possible. From this, Venetian plaster was born as the way to finish their walls with the same enduring elegance as the other cities.
The possibilities with plaster are endless! Give your walls or ceilings the beautiful depth and luster they need by applying layers with this age old technique developed to give a multitude of different effects from stucco to marble or stone. This versatile material, along with our expert techniques, is used to convey cutting edge contemporary drama or more subdued European antiquity. Amazing to the touch!
SCENIC PANORAMICS - Hand-painted scenes, starting with an artist's sketch...
These scenic panoramic landscapes and murals are hand-painted by our seasoned artists, either at our Studio on canvas and installed at a later time, or directly on the walls of the home.
Affordable Luxury! If your budget is of concern, please visit our other division, Fowler le' Maison, where we have created beautiful printed versions of these originally hand-painted murals, using digital technology that allows you to customize your wallcoverings, from color variations to size. These designs are printed onto high quality wallpaper, can be shipped anywhere, and easily installed to complete a continued scene that wraps around the entire room! This new division was a natural evolution for a company that already offered beautiful decorative painting to the design community.
