Scagliola
HERITAGE
COLLECTION
Rich materials skilfully crafted
Marble: since the time of Ancient Rome, Italy has been a point of
reference for this material, thanks to the many precious varieties
available and sophisticated production skills. For most of its
creations, Laudarte uses marble with bronze casting.
Capodimonte porcelain: the fame of this refined porcelain
from Naples has continued undisputed since the 18th century. Its
great strength enables the creation of layers as thin as rose petals;
Laudarte has conceived and developed a number of unique
shapes and uses for this material.
Bronze Casting: Laudarte creates its objects utilising various
ancient techniques, including “cire perdue” and earth casting.
In order to give the pieces an 18th century elegance, every
component is individually treated to highlight the opaque or
polished effect of shapes.
Mosaic: Laudarte draws on the deep Italian history in this art,
creating works inspired by the Etruscan and Roman tradition and
that possess the eclecticism of timeless design. The result is a
range of extremely refined shapes in which jade, gold, shells and
stones come together to create superb chromatic effects.
Scagliola: the first examples of this art appeared on the walls
of the Circus Maximus, back in Roman times. Tuscany was its
cradle thanks to the Vallombrosan monk Enrico Hugford, and
scagliola decoration became popular in Italian Baroque buildings
in the 17th century. Laudarte uses scagliola to ennoble materials
such as plaster and selenite plates, giving life to inlaid work with
incredible sheen, transparency and pearly whiteness.
