marbling

Marbling has been fashionable for over 3000 years. Early examples are to be found in the Pyramids, where this paint technique seems to have been popular despite the ready availability of real marble.

Marbling is not a simple process, our craftsmen paint facsimiles of all the many different marbles, creating depth and translucency. They add the correct amount of veining, and precisely graded pigments to make a perfect copy of the marble type required; using a variety of sable brushes, natural sponges and even feathers.

The advantage offered by painted marble is that it allows for a consistency of tone and colour impossible to source naturally.
