Real estate agents, who first saw these apartments, I was impressed by the sustained perfection of style and workmanship of all parts of the interior of the apartment. Hardwood floors in the style of Versailles, antique mirror applied on plaster statues by hand, the old traditional way of gilding. Harmoniously integrated with the present. Antique mirror swings open in the Chinese boudoir and shows the latest model flat-screen. And in the bedroom, cunningly hidden on the mezzanine, mounted in dressing room, decorated in the “Director” style. Full height French Windows open onto a balcony overlooking the internal gardens and Hyde Park.
