Description
An imitation marble or granite made from pigmented plaster. Scagliola was developed in the 16th century in Italy. It is made from a mixture of plaster, pigment, marble dust, and glue that is painted over gesso then heated. Scagliola was used for table tops, ornamental panels, and columns (Rowland and Riley 1981). It is softer than true marble and scratches easily.
