Gilded Antique Louis 1VX Style Suite given new life

Six dining Chairs
Two Armchairs
4 Seat sofa with 7 Seat sofa behind














This fabulous suite of French, Louis 1VX Style Furniture, circa 1890 was in a sorry state when I was asked to restore it. The client wanted a creamy white gesso base contrasted with the gold leaf. I matched the original rich water gilding with 23.75 carat gold.  The client chose upholstery in rich burgundy velvet and this opulent suite is now in Russia in a Moscow salon where it now resides.
