About Venetian Plaster
The most beautiful wall finish available
Venetian Plaster has also been called lime stucco, polished plaster, stucco lustro, stucco lucido, imported plaster, Italian plaster, Mormorino and Veneziano. Whatever you call it, Venetian Plaster is truly the most beautiful and luxurious wall finish available. It is composed of finely crushed marble, aged lime and natural pigments. The sheen, depending on application style, can be compared to finely polished marble, soft satin, or traditionally rustic stucco. Venetian Plaster is not a faux finish. It is the 'real thing' and synonymous with the traditional stucco and plaster used around the globe.
