Art Deco room with silver leaf, Museum Carnavalet.

Another 'hidden gem' in Paris! In the free Museum Carnavalet there is one Art Deco ballroom completely covered with hand painted silver leaf. It was done by using 'transparent' oil glazes on top of the silver leaf. The whole space is lacquered and shiny. The painted subject matter definitely shows a penchant for exoticism. The clock is to die for... What I wouldn't give!
