THE FIRST WORD
scagliola
Highlights include a 17th-century scagliola table, a technique employing colorful plaster; a lacquered folding screen by Eileen Gray; Carlo Mollino's Surrealist-inspired glass-top table...
Scagliola is a beautiful (and fragile) imitation marble created from powdered gypsum, glue and pigments. Scagliola comes from an Italian word meaning "chip of marble."
