Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -- Stone Age Designs announces that no other home in the U.S. has more Scagliola custom stone than the home of Designer Thierry Francois. Exterior and Interior scagliola stone accents as a wonderful option to substitute cast stone accent, custom stone pedestals, Scagliola stone fireplace mantels and custom stone kitchen hoods make this French home unique.
Stone Age Designs is the annual host to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra as they bring music and art, composers and designers together for this annual event surrounded by the antique beauty of Scagliola Stone. Thierry Francois' Scagliola Stone Show House at 225 West Paces Ferry gives a unique sense of European flavor for this event.
Scagliola dates back to the 17th Century when it was first created by Italian Monks near the Italian city of Capri. Creating Scagliola Stone is a technique of blending and inlaying marble powders and pigments producing a marble-like surface that resembles a painting while the designs can range from classic to modern.
The original Scagliola can be found today in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and the Riche Chapel, Munich dating back to 1603. Today, the Scagliola of the Renaissance is used in more than palaces; Scagliola is used to enhance the antique beauty of the home with a special focus on Stone Fireplace Mantels, http://www.stoneagedesigns.net/mantels, and Stone Kitchen Hoods, http://www.stoneagedesigns.net/kitchen as well as Scagliola Columns, and Pedestals.
Scagliola Stone created by Stone Age Designs uses a secret recipe of Thierry Francois. New techniques blend more than crushed marble as Francois has added limestone, and travertine to produce custom stone fireplace mantels, stone mantels, as well as custom stone kitchen hoods to substitute cast stone kitchen hoods that are not nearly as costly as hand-carved stone and still special like those.
The Scagliola of Stone Age Designs is easy to use, easy to install, and the design possibilities are limited only to the imagination. Stone Age Designs’ Scagliola has the look and feel of hand-carved quarry stones and the elegance of the Italian Renaissance.
There are two other major design differences in Stone Age Designs’ Scagliola. “Our technique allows us the flexibility to hand-carve our Scagliola for very special projects, and our exclusive technique provides a sense of old-world elegance because it is layered, giving it the look of authentic custom stone.”
“We have so much artistic freedom today,” says Francois because “we can create what we see in the mind’s eye with the molds we create or from the designs of the past. We can also work from CAD drawings to create one-of-a-kind pieces in our own precious Scagliola Stone.”
Francois added, “this is one of the reasons we created the Scagliola Stone Show House with more Scagliola custom stone than any other home in the U.S. so that we would be able to showcase Scagliola designs of today exclusively from Stone Age Designs.”
