Restoration of old staircase in Mejlborg Aarhus

Mejlborg is the first apartment of supremacy in Aarhus. Mejlborg was first built in 1896 but burned and had to be rebuilt after the original drawings by the architect Sophus Frederik Kühnel. 
Mejlborg was completed in 1898.
It has been fantastic to be able to restore this beautiful and historic staircase. 
It has been my focus to retain as much of the original paint as possible and only retouch where it was absolutely necessary.

When I'm gilding the luxury handmade wallpaper, I'm trying to recycle the brass by using each sheet twice - this is part of the process....
