This Moncla with its Flat Silver Gilded Ground and bottle green background paint feels distant and cold despite the use of the red for berry’s fruits and flowers. I find it businesslike and can imagine it in the lobby of a lawyer’s office.
A Matter of Athmosphere

One Gilt Leather design, two athmospheres
The tone of a color, the shine of a metallic ground, the combination of colors, of course, the design itself will dictate the atmosphere of a panel and dramatically influence the aspect of a room. My guess is that we are all aware of this. Yet I can’t resist showing two Moncla panels we recently made. Both are Polychrome versions and both have a Gilded ground, yet thats where the comparison ends. One was shown in the previous post and is now to be seen at Marchand-Mercier Paris.
While this Moncla with its dominating Rich Gilded Ground and transparent brunt earth background belongs in an elaborated private setting. Perhaps in a hallway leading to the main living room. Just name it. It feels warm and serene despite the blue-green fruits and flowers. Opulence might be the right word.
When ordering panels or samples, mind a good and complete beefing as at Lutson, everything is bespoke. We will make a panel look the way you expect it to.
As Always,
