Marbling Desk and Surface Restoration

What is Marbling?

Marbling is the equivalent of graining on wood. The idea is to make a cheaper material look like marble, and the art of marbling has been around for many years. This is common on table tops and within Churches.

How I use Marbling

• I can reproduce the look of real marble and stone
• I can paint using scumble replicas of marble for inlays, table tops, pillars, etc.
• These also can be aged and patinated according to the requirements or matched in to existing paintwork or wood. Green and white is a big favourite
• I have also painted shop fronts to match surrounding stonework, country furniture and folk art.
• I specialise in the repair of this kind of furniture, especially painted pieces of all sizes, and can match the age, patination and texture and colour, sometimes using handmade milk paints but depending on the customer’s desires
