Marble Graining: Wood or marble graining always ends with each separate piece of wood or 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 marble must create a complete illusion, and the work must be very realistic.
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 marble (such as a dado or baseboard) is actually covered by marble slabs about one inch thick and of varying sizes. The marble joints are always visible, and if the desired effect is to be imitated in paint, the marble slabs, stiles, panels, and other parts with visible joints should be carefully imitated.

Antiquing of wallpaper. Painters are often called upon to give wallpaper an antique, mellow effect. This softens the colors and draws them together. If the wallpaper pattern is printed in water color (tempera), the paper should first receive a coat of gelatin size, followed by a coat of shellac. The glaze itself may be in oil or turpentine, and the procedure is the same as antiquing painted surfaces.See Also Marble Such:Wooden Wall panels are made a certain size and shape, according to their period, and they are held in place by moldings and stiles.

All periods of Greek art are well represented by surviving objects in materials other than the marble such of the monumental arts or the fired clay of the vases. Although bronze was used for major statuary, bronzework is best known from smaller objects. Bronze mirrors had polished reflecting disks, often supported by small figures of women, delicately cast and inferior only in size to their marble such kin.
On The Other Hand See White Marble Alternated:The Corinthian colon¬nades of Pisa Cathedral attested the influence of ancient Rome. But if less concerned with prob¬lems of vaulting than his Lombard contempora¬ries, the architect Buschetto was much more in¬terested in the appearance of Pisa Cathedral. The luminous white marble alternated with bands of dark green marble and sometimes with other colors. In Florence, rectangular panels of col¬ored marbles replaced the banding preferred at Pisa.
The building was constructed according to Greek methods, almost no iron was employed in the construction, and it took seven years to complete (1833-1840). Though in use for more than a century, the building is still sound. The Governor's Mansion (1883-1888), built in Queen Anne style, is of brick and sandstone, with white marble steps.
