Imitations of materials, fake wood, fake marble, imitation stones ...

The decoration in this room is very old, 50 - 70 years old, or even more. Over the years the sun has "burnt" the varnish and whitened the glazes. The varnish had even peeled off in many places. Renovation of the flat and bringing it up to electrical standards required new ducts to be run through the walls.
As a result, the old decorations had to be overpainted to revive their colours, while at the same time being reattached with fluid varnishes. It was then sufficient to redo identically the areas that had been trenched for the electrical ducts.
In this case, knowing the old techniques of beer and oil glazes made it possible to get as close as possible to the old decoration.
