I was introduced to intaglios by Holly of the fabulous blog, Things That Inspire.
Intaglios are figures or designs carved into stone or a hard material.
She sells them framed in her on-line store, Quatrefoil Designs.
I absolutely loved the look and wanted to use it in my home. Imagine my surprise when shopping in Baltimore with Meg of Pigtown Design last year I came across what I'm going to call my faux intaglios. One of the shops we visited was McClain Wiesand. This fabulous shop carries a selection of antiques and vintage pieces and amazing artisan furniture. I was intrigued by their castings from original architectural pieces. You know me and my architectural fragment obsession.
They had created some small castings to use as Christmas tree ornaments. To me, they were intaglios. These are the ones that I purchased.
I'm working on framing them. I'll post when I get them done and on the wall.
Please check back.

FIY I also bought these ornament castings for my tree.
Love!! Love!!
