Scagliola Column

This stately Scagliola column epitomizes the dynamic beauty that has made Scagliola a prized material since the 19th century. Made from pigmented plaster and marble chips cast and then polished, Scagliola can be made to resemble any variety of marble. Prized for its attractiveness and versatility, it became highly popular beginning in the 1820s, and it was constructed into panels, columns and other architectural elements in fashionable homes of the day.
