Italian Lime Plaster · Fireplace Commissions
Hand-applied Italian lime plaster and marmorino for fireplace surrounds, full chimney breasts, hearths and feature walls—developed to suit the architecture of the room.

The Finish
Italian lime plaster is built in thin troweled coats. The movement comes from the hand and the material itself—not from a printed pattern or faux texture.

On a fireplace, lime plaster changes with daylight and firelight. It can remain quiet and matte or carry a restrained soft sheen depending on the room.
The goal is not to make the surface flashy. It is to make the fireplace feel like a permanent architectural element.
