The interior was masterly painted by internationally acclaimed Pierre Finkelstein, his realistic wood graining, intricate glazing, 18th and 19th-century patinas, gilding, handmade plaster finishes, ornamentation, custom-cut stenciling and architectural trompe l’oeil is detailed throughout the home,” the Christie’s International Real Estate listing describes. “The first and second-floor foyers are intricately hand-painted Venetian plaster in a design that appears textured but smooth to the touch.”
