Celeste
A Parisian salon · light French neoclassicism
A residence in the spirit of light French neoclassicism. “Celeste” means sky-blue — an airy Parisian salon where dusty-blue velvet, antique gilt bronze and cream boiserie are gathered into a romantic yet precise composition.
Carved cream-greige boiserie with cannelured pilasters, a large arched mercury mirror over a marble console, feather and crystal chandeliers; armchairs and bergères in dusty-blue silk velvet, the cream linen of the sofa, a faded blue-and-cream Aubusson on herringbone parquet. A single language throughout the residence: the dining room, the study-library, the hall, the bedroom, the orangery, the powder room and the music corner. White cherry blossom and blue hydrangeas, blue-and-white porcelain, soft high-key light — a quiet Parisian luxury.
The Parisian salon of the residence
A quiet Parisian luxury: carved cream-greige boiserie, a large arched mercury mirror over a marble console, dusty-blue silk velvet and antique gilt bronze beneath feather and crystal chandeliers.
The salon
At the centre a large arched mercury mirror over a marble console, framed by carved boiserie with cannelured pilasters. Before it the cream linen of the sofa and bergère armchairs in dusty-blue silk velvet, a gilt table and a faded blue-and-cream Aubusson on herringbone parquet; a feather chandelier floats above.
The reverse view
From the reverse point the marble fireplace, the tall arched windows and the whole enfilade of light open up: the salon is composed symmetrically around the hearth and the mirror, in a soft high-key light.
Mercury glass, carving, detail
The luxury reads in the details: an aged mercury mirror, carved boiserie with mouldings, gilt bronze and the soft patina of time — the precise hand of the craftsman in every millimetre.
Mirror and console
A large arched mercury mirror over a marble console with gilt bronze, blue-and-white porcelain and blue hydrangeas — the compositional heart of the salon, assembled with jewel-like precision.
Dining, study, hall, bedroom
The salon is part of a single residence: the dining room, the study-library, the hall and the bedroom speak one language of light French neoclassicism and a dusty-blue palette.
The dining room
A dining group beneath a crystal chandelier, boiserie and blue-and-white porcelain — a formal yet airy zone in the house’s single palette.
The study-library
Bookcases, blue velvet and gilt bronze — an intimate, focused zone in the same light range.
The hall · entrance
Boiserie, mirrors and soft light set the tone of the residence from the threshold — light neoclassicism greets you already in the entrance.
Orangery, music, powder room
The romance of the salon continues in the light, intimate zones: the orangery, the music corner, the powder room and the tall curtained windows — flowers, porcelain and soft light.
When the salon fills with warm light
At sunset the salon opens differently: the golden hour floods the boiserie and velvet with warm light, the mercury mirror softly glows, the blue warms — the light Parisian neoclassicism becomes utterly romantic and enveloping.
An airy Parisian salon where blue velvet, gilt bronze and cream boiserie are gathered into a romantic yet precise composition.
