ORNAMENTAL PLASTER RESTORATION

Restoration of Historic Plasterwork

Restoring historic plasterwork requires more than recreating what has been lost. Our team carefully studies existing ornamentation, preserving original details and reconstructing damaged or missing elements through traditional sculpting, mold-making, and casting techniques.

Our goal is to ensure that every restored detail feels like a natural continuation of the original architecture.

How restoration works: from original to reproduction

01

Study & Document

  • Assess the original condition
  • Identify surviving details
  • Study profile, depth, symmetry, and repetition
  • Document damaged or missing areas

02

Clean & Reconstruct

  • Carefully remove layers of paint when necessary
  • Reveal the original detail beneath the surface
  • Repair damaged ornament
  • Sculpt and reconstruct missing elements

03

Mold, Cast & Install

  • Create molds from the completed model
  • Cast new plaster elements
  • Install and join individual pieces
  • Patch and finish for a seamless result
