Replacing Ceiling Plaster Work In Historic Brownstone

kenkigal

Need to replace a huge historical decorative plaster "medallion" (its much more intricate than a medallion it was like scroll work) that was on the ceiling. A worker destroyed it. We have a duplicate one in the home and want to put it back. What type of professional does that type of work?

    I don't know a title other then 'plaster restoration expert' but any contractor who does restoration will know someone who does this. They will make a mould of you existing undamaged medallion and cast the duplicate in plaster. Fairly simple (but not cheap)

      Please look at Victoriana, a shop in San Francisco. They have a website.

      Thank you Ellsworth-Hallet Home Professionals! That is a great idea. mcbmd3 thank you as well, but the property is in Brooklyn, New York.. Any idea of someone who may be more local than San Fran? Or even someone who might know someone on this side of the coast/near Brooklyn New York?

      Try Palladio Mouldings company. They are in NYC and Toronto. John, the owner, is a very nice and professional gentleman. I hope that you will find their service helpful.They even spell "mouldings" the old-fashioned way :-)

      Hello Renaissance Ornamental! Thank you very very much! I will look them up and make sure I use the old fashioned spelling of moulding in my communications, ha! :-)

      Look at Architectural Sculpture at 1818 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn. They can do anything.

      Forgot: also look at 67 Steuben Street, cannot recall their name right now but they made a plaster moulding that I needed some time ago, and were delightful to work with.
