Collection: 19th-century decorator's workshop

This collection takes you on a treasure hunt in the workshop of a late 19th-century decorative painter.

handmade cardboard stencils, large stencils (perforated cardboard used to transfer a design by powdering), inspiration boards for ceilings and wall decorations, preparatory drawings, sometimes reworked or annotated, numbered decorative marquetry strips...

A true workshop collection, both artistic and technical, which concretely shows how the decorations of beautiful interiors were designed before industrialization.
