Venetian Plaster is truly the most beautiful and versatile decorative wall finish in the world.

These unique plaster finishes are used on both interior and exterior wall surfaces predominantly in Italy and  other Mediterranean
countries, as well as numerous countries throughout Europe.      

Venetian Plaster is an artistic wall finish that is considered by many to be the most beautiful and durable in the world.  Finishes
range from extremely smooth and marble-like, to very rough and textured.  The styles portrayed by these finishes range from old
world to contemporary.  Given the texture and color choices possible, there are literally millions of possible finishes.  

Venetian Plaster is a generic term that hints at the origins of these plasters.  Around the world, Venetian Plasters are often
referred to by different names such as old world plasters, polished plasters, architectural plasters, Italian plasters, decorative
stuccos, etc.  These terms are generally used to describe certain styles, but "Venetian Plaster" is the broader term used to
describe these finishes that were perfected by the Venetians during the Renaissance period.  The term that is absolutely not
acceptable is "faux painting".  The word "faux" meaning fake in French,  refers to wall coverings meant to copy the authentic
Venetian Plaster finishes using paint, sponges, rags, glazes, etc.  Faux finishes do not remotely compare to authentic Venetian
Plaster finishes when looked at for their beauty, durability, and history.

                                                         
              Mission Statement
Old World Plasters’ vision is to bring the old world charm of European styling to the structures of America, explicitly through the
lost art of Venetian Plaster.
