The
seats are intricate objects to reproduce in miniature because they
combine several techniques of decoration (joinery, painting, tapestry,
carving, gilding) which it is necessary to harmonize between them.
Taking into account the size of these objects, I chose to make them
with boxwood to have a hard assembly and a carving as detailed as
possible.
Gilding is made with real gold leaves
on a "clay bowl" (red ground) which gives it this bright
and warm color.
