Heritage interior decorator. Period Rooms from the 17th to the 19th century — for those who entrust a place, and for those who bring one to life.
I don't decorate a space — I inscribe it in a continuity. Neither pastiche nor reconstruction : a living authenticity.
From contemporary luxury in the service of heritage, a single thread : the demand for detail, the rightness of proportion, the precision of craft. The Period Rooms of the 18th century remain the reference — discipline of proportion, freedom of ornament, refinement of craftsmanship.
Every room is conceived as a total work. Every project, as a conversation with the place that welcomes it.
Private mansions, châteaux, family houses, Haussmannian apartments.
Interiors designed to pass through generations, in the discipline of historic proportions and the freedom of a living dwelling.
ExploreChâteau-hotels, Relais & Châteaux, distinctive guesthouses, exceptional estates.
Staging a place so it offers every guest the evidence of an escape no rival address could replicate. A château or a manor is not enough — the staging and the rightness of the choices make everything.
ExploreLouis XIV, Régence, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Directoire, Empire, Restauration, Napoléon III — each period has its ornamental grammar, its proportions, its materials. I know them, I document them, I mobilise them. My interiors do not quote a style : they understand it.
Stucco artists, gold-leaf gilders, decorative painters, master cabinetmakers, marble workers, upholsterers — I directly coordinate the crafts that give body to an exceptional interior. These skills are not invented. They are orchestrated.
A historical décor that prevents inhabiting is not a good décor. Behind every panelling, I think storage. Behind every enfilade, circulation. Historical elegance serves the everyday, never the other way round.
A Period Room is not the copy of an era : it is the art of making all the elements that constitute its signature coexist in a single place — proportions of volumes, drawing of mouldings, finesse of panelling, palette of colours, grain of textiles, profile of cornices and plinths.
The whole must appear self-evident, as if this décor had passed through the generations.
Traditional plaster rather than resin. Gold leaf rather than gilded paint. Lime renders rather than industrial paints. Bespoke joinery rather than standard parts.
Polyurethane has its place — in humid environments, under certain structural constraints — but never as a budget substitute. Authenticity is not negotiable.
Three territories that feed each other — and articulate into three levels of engagement.
Conception of spaces, plans and elevations, drawings of bespoke joinery, mouldings and ornaments.
Decorative painting, gold-leaf gilding, stucco and render, patinas and prestige finishes — the ultimate layer that tips an interior into exception.
Sourcing from the finest French houses — textiles, wallpapers, fine furniture, lighting — strategic counsel on the coherence of a place.
From a punctual glance to the integral conception of a place out of time, every project calls for a measured response.
Absolute symmetry, gilding, polychrome marbles. Versailles, supreme embodiment of the Grand Siècle.
