Adore May 2021

Before entering Galerie de Galatoire, guests will be greeted by a crest created by the designers, featuring a palm tree and lattice detailing, a nod to the handcrafted treasures inside. Yvette Rutledge and Vince Mitchell of Mystic Blue Signs hand applied it to the front door with reverse glass water gilding. Brandon Wilkins Studio draped 400 yards of Scalamandré striped ticking in the entry stairwell. Its color was sourced from a historic paint color discovered on the interior walls under many layers of peeling paint. After ascending to the second story, visitors will come upon the crisp and utterly chic venue which can host multiple events at once (the spacious room can be separated by floor to ceiling doors that are on a pivot hinge). Large windows face the storied Hotel Monteleone, offering a canary's point of view, and natural light, even on a stormy day, is bountiful. The space is further illuminated by oak leaf sconces and chandeliers. Inspired by Pavillon Frais at Versailles, intricate trellised walls by Gus Hartdegan & Sons Architectural Millwork are found inside and continue onto the walls of the private rear terrace.
