‘Scratching the Surface’: An Introduction to Sgraffito and its Conservation in England
The term ‘sgraffito’ describes a technique of incised mural decoration applied to enhance the walls of buildings; it can also describe an incised decorative technique on pottery. In the context of this paper, the term is applied to the decorative technique used for the embellishment of external and internal wall surfaces.
Although this paper describes briefly the history of this decoration in Renaissance Italy and its revival in England in the nineteenth century, its main theme relates to the issues of its conservation in England today.
