Here’s a look at one of the hand-set triglyphs we’re installing on this project – a key element of classical architecture, rooted in the Doric order.
Each triglyph was individually set out by hand around the perimeter of the room, including along a radius to ensure all mitres align perfectly. It’s a meticulous process that requires skill, patience, and an understanding of proportion and symmetry.
On a current project, we have had the privilege of helping to restore the building’s original ceiling, bringing back a key architectural feature that had been hidden and altered over time.
Working closely with the lighting and air conditioning teams, we carefully adjusted the layout to integrate modern systems while respecting the building’s character. A seamless blend of old and new that honours the past and incorporates technology of today.
Proud to be part of projects where thoughtful collaboration and attention to detail make all the difference.

At Fine Art Mouldings, we don’t just design and craft bespoke fibrous plaster ceilings, we also restore and preserve the craftsmanship of the past.
Architects and conservation specialists often come to us first to survey historic fibrous plaster ceilings. As part of our detailed photographic and written reports, we not only assess the condition of the ceilings but also delve into the history of the building, ensuring our recommendations for strengthening or repairs respect its original character. Our goal is to keep these stunning architectural features intact for future generations to admire.
Here’s a photo of our team carefully backing up an existing ceiling with wires and ‘wads’ – a traditional method carried out in full compliance with all rules and regulations.
Preserving the past is as important as creating the future. If you need advice on fibrous plaster ceiling restoration, we’re here to help.

It’s an incredible opportunity to showcase British excellence in fibrous plasterwork and represent our industry at the highest level.
A huge thank you to our talented team who made this achievement possible. Here’s to continuing to raise the bar in plasterwork craftsmanship!
We proudly designed, sculpted, and created a stunning 6-meter wall mural depicting the life of the legendary Irish architect, Eileen Gray. This masterpiece now graces the elegant restaurant of the Maybourne Hotel on the French Riviera. 🌊🌟
