Plaster intaglios were inspired by intaglios carved into semi-precious stones and hardstones, which were traditionally used for signing messages and sealing letters.

FAQs

Grand Tour plaster intaglios are decorative relief casts made from engraved gems, collected by aristocratic travellers during eighteenth and nineteenth-century tours across Europe, particularly Italy.

They were crafted by pressing fine plaster of Paris or liquid sulphur into moulds created from carved gemstone intaglios, often finished with gilded paper edges.

Authentic pieces feature crisp relief details depicting classical mythology or portrait heads, aged plaster patination, and gold-leafed or paper-bound rims set within trays or boxes.

They can be hung on narrow wall spaces, layered on bookshelf displays, or mounted in gallery walls alongside dark wood furniture and classical art.

Keep them in a dry environment behind glass to protect the delicate plaster from moisture, dust, and direct physical contact, dusting only with a soft dry brush.
