Old World Finishes-  Italian Lime Plasters –

Grasello is a pure, long aged putty lime stucco. An exact reproduction of the Roman era plasters; its natural ingredients generate soft, luxurious marble effects, satin to heavy glossy looks. Grasello means 'skimmed cream of lime'.  Its actually obtained when skimming off the 'cream' of long aged (15 months!) slaked and high quality lime, then marble dust is added. The difference is noticeable.  These lime-based plasters are also stain and water resistant and can polish to any level of sheen you like.

 

Le Venitienis the most widely known of the "Venetian Plasters." It is the finish that is responsible for the recent high demand for lime based plasters here in the U.S. and is the one finish most imitated by many faux finish products. Le Venitien is composed of a mixture of pure slaked lime, natural vegetable oils such as linseed, and marble talc.

 

Marmorino is prehaps our most versatile product, Marmorino is a 100% pure lime-based plaster with Carrera rounded marble sand of 500 microns. The rounded marble makes it easy to apply. This product has been used since the 15th century and applicators can achieve a luxurious finish with polished, unpolished, aged, or contemporary stone effect.

 
Travertino has Carrera marble sand at a larger size (700 microns) than Marmorino. This product is available in Fine, Medium and Gross grain consistency. Travertino is used to create aged finishes, textured surfaces and stone features. You can easily create veining.
