Pargetted panels, hand crafted by legendary, third generation pargetter, Bill Sargent.

Pargetting is a decorative craft, now on the Heritage Crafts Endangered List. 

We commissioned the collection of panels so we may introduce customers to this endangered heritage craft. The panels are a part of our Heritage Crafts Collection..

The panels are made specifically to be hung on interior or exterior walls, with immediate effect. We are also taking commissions for larger pieces in situ - please contact the shop or visit us.

Bill Sargent is among the highest regarded pargetters (or 'pargeter') in the country. His work can be seen in Suffolk, Essex, Kent and Norfolk and covers most areas of traditional plastering and pargetting (or 'pargeting'). 

Pargetting is believed to have been introduced to England in the sixteenth century by Henry VIII who imported Italian plasterers to decorate Nonsuch Palace. The craft was referred to as ‘stucco’ in Italy, but became known as ‘pargeting’ in England. Either patterns were stamped or scratched into the surface of wet plaster, and  the most skilled pargeters created their own designs which they then modelled directly onto the wall using their fingers and a spatula to create designs in high or low relief. While the craft is mainly associated with East Anglia and particularly Suffolk and Essex, historically it was much more widely employed.*
