    Bespoke Polished Plaster

    Maison Estelle

    Project Overview

    Maison Estelle is a private members' club set within a historic Mayfair townhouse, designed to an exceptionally high standard throughout. The brief required polished plaster finishes capable of standing alongside fine art, antique furniture, and bespoke joinery without competing for attention.

    Choice Finishes was engaged to deliver bespoke polished plaster across several of the club's principal rooms, working to a materials and colour specification developed by the interior design team specifically for this project.

    Each room received a distinct tone and texture, tailored to its use and lighting — from richer, deeper finishes in more intimate lounge spaces to lighter, more reflective surfaces in rooms designed for daytime use.

    Scope of Works

    • Bespoke colour and texture sampling for each principal room, agreed with the design team ahead of full application
    • Multi-coat polished plaster application to walls across the specified rooms
    • Hand-trowelling and burnishing to achieve a fine, marble-like sheen
    • Careful protection of surrounding period joinery, cornicing, and fixtures throughout installation

    Materials & Finishes

    • Bespoke-tinted polished plaster (Marmorino-type lime plaster system)
    • Hand-burnished trowel finish
    • Protective wax seal to principal room surfaces

    Challenges & Approach

    Working within a live historic building meant protecting existing period features — cornicing, panelling, and fireplaces — while achieving a flawless, continuous plaster finish across large wall areas.

    We sequenced work room by room, using bespoke protective screening and dust control suited to a finished, occupied heritage interior, and matched bespoke tones precisely against the designer's physical material samples before any wall application began.
