✽ Venetian plaster adds interest to a space through color, texture and sheen while integrating an element of sophistication into any room.
✽ Legend has it that the Venetians invented Venetian plaster as a way to make the walls of the city look like marble because heavy marble walls would have made the city sink.
Furniture & Cabinetry
Often overlooked, custom finished furniture can be the final touch that completes a room’s style and authenticity. Imago Dei has always included furniture and cabinetry in its repertoire of creative arts with a wide range of decorative styles. Antique and distressed looks are among the most popular. We are capable of aging brand new pieces to look as though they’ve been around hundreds of years and can also rework authentic vintage pieces to give them a new life.
Attention to detail is a key aspect of achieving a professional antique look. Distressing is done in such a manner to replicate normal wear over centuries of use, for example, around keyholes and on corners. Imago Dei works with clients and designers to research historically accurate furniture finishes and decorative painted features. Our artists carefully replicated the color, gilding, painted subjects, styles and glazes.
