Horses head pargetting

Custom lime plaster horse head feature On this project the customer asked for a rendered wall with a striking 3D horse’s head in traditional lime plaster. I sketched the design freehand on site, then built it up in layers of lime plaster to create the relief. For the eye I used a carefully chosen stone to give it real depth and character, and I worked from a reference photo the client loved. The result is a beautiful, bespoke piece that sits perfectly on the freshly rendered wall — a one-off feature that really makes the property stand out. Lime plaster was the ideal choice here: it’s breathable, durable, and ages gracefully on an external wall while giving that soft, authentic finish.
