Cornices Matching to Existing Step BY Step

This picture shows what we received from one of our clients. It was just a couple of pieces of plaster with more than fifteen layers of paint on it. We estimated that the age of this cornice might be about 200 years old.

This is the same piece of plaster after our restoration. Our specialist removed the paint and reproduced all missing pieces by traditional hand-carving and joined all parts together. When everything was in the right place, we made the mould from it. Then, we cast this cornices using original Plaster of Paris. As you can see the final effect is fantastic.
