For example, wooden or plaster columns or paneling may be painted to imitate the color and graining of marble, which would be a more costly and desirable material. It is distinguished from "scagliola," in which the effect of marbling is achieved by mixing pigment directly with the wet plaster, and then applying the plaster to the surface. faux marbre marbrejat 2026-03-30 20:37:42
