Intaglios

These little white discs are causing quite a stir in the design world. It seems that everyone wants them, and why wouldn't you? They look amazing in any space, especially when grouped together to create a large impact.

But what are they exactly? Well, I'll tell you!

The word "intaglio" (in-tagl-io) refers to a seal, gem, or ornament with a sunken or incised design, as opposed to a design in relief. These are often compared to cameos, however cameos are different in that their design is often painted.

Jan Michelle Interiors uses plaster cameos imported from the UK, made from original moulds. Below are images from JMI!
