Delfini

Mix and match the designs from the Domus Aurea Collection of Pompeian style stencils.  These patterns derive from the villas, temples, theaters and baths of the seaside town destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in ad 79 and later stylized by their rediscovery of the Domus Aurea.  Symmetry, ornament, and linear finesse define these stencils and each include an animal or floral motif.   The Delfini is a popular motif in the Raffaellesco pattern of Deruta ceramics.  Each design harks back to a mythological sea creature that saved sailors in a dead calm.  Today, this design is thought to bring your home blessings and good luck. For the "Candelabra" effect using this stencil, Panel Set B, uses the Maschera, Delfini and Carousel Swag stencils to create the vertical, ancient Roman decorative style of painting.   Watch this video of Nicola Vigini demonstrating venetian plaster stenciling.
