The Atelier’s Graces

Three Graces, Endlessly Adaptable

Custom Illustration

Wedding suites, storybooks, and invitations dressed in hand-painted florals and cherubic flourishes.

Gilded Portraiture

Portraits in powder and gilt that flatter graciously — you, as you always suspected you were.

Pattern & Ornament

Seamless wallpapers, toile revivals, and ribbon motifs ready for fabric, paper, and porcelain.

From First Flourish to Final Gilt

How a Commission Unfolds

Consultation

We take tea — or at least a very long letter — to map your vision, palette, and purpose.

Sketch & Approval

A pencil study arrives for your review; refinement continues until it is unmistakably yours.

Gilded Delivery

Your finished artwork arrives as print-ready files, with gold-foil prints optional by post.

Kind Words from the Salon

Patrons, Delighted

My wedding suite looked plucked from a Versailles dressing table — guests kept the invitations as keepsakes.

Genevieve M. · Bride & Raconteuse

The portrait made me look like a marquess with excellent skin. I have since commissioned three more.

Capt. R. Whitmore · Patron of the Arts

Their pattern work turned our tea-room wallpaper into a small, delightful opera.

Lucie Tan · Founder, Maison de Thé

Questions, Gracefully Answered

How long does a commission take?

Petite pieces take two to three weeks; Grand Portraits, four to six. A firm timeline accompanies your sketch.

How many revisions are included?

Each tier includes the rounds listed; further rounds may be added à la carte, and politely.

May I use my artwork commercially?

Personal use accompanies every commission; full commercial licences ship with the Grand Portrait and above.

Do you design patterns for brands?

Gladly — pattern suites for packaging, fabric, and porcelain are a house specialty.
