Today I happen to discover some amazing pictures of French
Boiserie, that I would share. French
Boiserie always fascinates me, whether on walls or furniture, it is amazing how artisans have spent hours creating them without any power tools. In today's world I don't know how much will it cost to do just one room of Versailles, but I am sure it was not cheap even in the 16th century.
Feau & Cie, in Paris, since 1875, have been restoring antique
Boiserie and reproducing new as well. If you are looking for French
Boiserie for your Chateau, do check them.
