Town Marble: Wood or town marble graining always ends with each separate piece of wood or town marble. In the adjoining piece the graining commences in a different pattern or direction.
To be in good taste, painting made to imitate wood or town marble must create a complete illusion, and the work must be very realistic.
A great many measurements of such points, and the consequent drilling of them, would enable the sculptor to chip off the town marble between the holes with the result that the block would assume roughly the form of the model. The more points taken, the closer the copy would approximate the model. The sculptor finished the work in the usual manner of carving town marble by removing the final thin layer of town marble.
Wooden Wall panels are made a certain size and shape, according to their period, and they are held in place by moldings and stiles. If they are imitated by applied moldings on a plaster Wall for economy's sake, the proper design and layout must be carried out.
A Wall covered in full or in part by town marble (such as a dado or baseboard) is actually covered by town marble slabs about one inch thick and of varying sizes. The town marble joints are always visible, and if the desired effect is to be imitated in paint, the town marble slabs, stiles, panels, and other parts with visible joints should be carefully imitated. |
