Welcome to Veneshe!
(Easton, Pennsylvania) Authentic Venetian Plaster will transform any room in your home or business into a one of a kind work of art, imparting a sensuality of texture and color that is impossible to achieve with paint or faux finishing. In contrast to faux painting and faux plasters, authentic Italian lime plaster is not only beautiful, but also one of the most "Green" eco-friendly and natural plaster wall finishes. All our Italian plasters are made from lime and natural aggregates, cured and processed in Italy, and colored on-site with natural earth pigments. Ranging from translucent, high gloss polished plaster surfaces that resemble marble, to rustic surfaces that resemble ancient and worn stucco, genuine Venetian plaster creates unique and highly sought-after plaster wall finishes that reflect the artist's technique, vision and mastery of the Venetian plaster art form. Take a moment to browse our Venetian Plaster portfolio and gallery of Venetian Plaster Finishes for a glimpse into this sought-after world of beauty.
