built-in plaster shelves/shelving

I'm not going to repeat everything I said in my answer to your "muebles de obra" question, but it's the same sort of thing, this time narrowed down to plaster rather than possibly including brick as well. This is 99% sure to be referring to built-in plaster shelves of some kind, as you can see from the photos at the links below (but if you want to allow for that 1%, use "furnishings" instead of shelves or shelving).

neutral tazdog (X) : yes, it's made of plaster, but the key is that it's built in, can't be moved from one place to another. "Furniture" alone implies "movable." See my answer for more info.

disagree tazdog (X) : no, that's not what it is. See photos at links in my answer, below. // the asker needs the name in English. "Escayola" can certainly be translated, as it's not a proper noun here.
