Scagliola Material Story

Francois & Company’s contemporary artisans offer a wide portfolio of architectural Scagliola creations and finishes for the home, from the classically subtle to the most embellished and ornate.

Incorporating the precise techniques and materials intrinsic to the original masters, François & Co. artisans are able to hand lay multiple layers of pigment, created by a proprietary mixture of limestone dust and marble chips, followed by honing and hand polishing – a process repeated until pinholes are filled and the surface flawlessly resembles a naturally veined marble, almost indistinguishable from the original.
