Caumsett 2007
The Marshall Fields Estate Lloyd Neck N.Y.
Art Works and Designs transformed the servants back staircase into a space worthy of any entrance foyer. Trompe L'oiel window moldings and door trim was inspired by trim that existed in the original mansion, enlarged the architecture, visually with paint. Faux wood graining to simulate carved acanthus, over cast iron stairs fooled all the visitors. Faux limestone block over the walls and a faux parquet floor covered three levels, while cascading vines rained down the walls from above.
