Decorative Painting
Our signature brush finishes combine traditional French techniques with modern aesthetics. Each project begins with meticulous surface preparation to ensure flawless results. Our artisans use hand-applied methods and premium materials to create custom textures and patterns that elevate interior spaces. Clients benefit from tailored solutions that reflect their unique design vision while maintaining historical authenticity.
Decorative Plaster
We craft customized marble plaster finishes in diverse color palettes for walls and ceilings. Our durable, fire-resistant plaster adheres to various surfaces while offering sustainable, eco-friendly properties. The material's versatility allows for both ornate and minimalist designs, providing clients with long-lasting, low-maintenance surfaces that enhance architectural character.
Cold Metallization
This technique applies metallic powders to create authentic metal surfaces on diverse substrates. We specialize in stainless steel, gold, and copper finishes that mimic solid metal at a fraction of the cost. The process allows for intricate patterns and gradients, offering clients luxurious, durable surfaces suitable for both decorative and functional applications.
Gilding
Our traditional gilding techniques use genuine gold, palladium, and aluminum leaf to create timeless accents. We apply these materials to architectural elements and furniture using time-honored methods that ensure longevity. Clients receive surfaces that combine historical elegance with contemporary design, achieving a balance between opulence and subtlety.
Embossed Leathers
We produce hand-embossed leather wall coverings using vegetable-tanned goat and sheep skins. The process combines historic engraving plates with modern customization options, resulting in durable, flexible surfaces. Clients benefit from unique, tactile finishes that add warmth and sophistication to interior spaces while maintaining environmental responsibility.
