These candlestick holders are made using a traditional plastering technique called Scagliola. This plastering technique was prevalent during the 1600’s and was often used to imitate marble and pietra dura. Today, Mike Serra is interested in using this technique as a more three dimensional and tactile medium rather than the flat panels seen in the past. Serra blends the plaster with rabbit skin glue, various stone particles and earth pigments to create a visually unpredictable sculpting medium that can also be carved like stone when dry. 

Please note that each candlestick holder is unique and patterns vary greatly from one another. Any natural blemishes or irregularities should not be misconstrued as flaws. The surface texture is similar to that of natural stone. Pieces are finished with Howard Feed-n-Wax and can occasionally be re-polished with more wax.
