Magnificent in scale and proportion, a Christmas tree festooned with hundreds of lights and sparkling ornaments reflects the extraordinary opulence of this majestic boudoir. A picture-perfect complement to the room’s regal four-poster bed, this awe-inspiring Yuletide tree creates heartwarming enchantment when set aglow in the evening hours. A pristine Christmas angel wrapped in a wintry frock befits the Old-World elegance of this stately holiday home.
The splendor of gold creates holiday magic in rooms graced with lavish style and classic design. A garland laced with tiny lights, ribbon, and gold flourishes adorns the sitting room fireplace, introducing a fragrant woodland element to the room’s period furnishings and rich burgundy accents.
Replacing the season’s traditional red, accents of shimmering pink and ivory bring a fresh approach and provide an eye-pleasing counterpoint to this glamorous gilded palette.
A garland of golden ribbon intertwined with fresh evergreen branches makes a grand statement atop an elegantly curved wrought-iron stair railing.
