\"A
HBO’s late-19th-century drama The Gilded Age<\/em> is largely set within the well-appointed homes of New York’s high society. Here, guests congregate in the parlor of two main characters, Bertha and George Russell. The architect of the Russell house, Stanford White (portrayed by John Sanders), is seen second from right.

As The Gilded Age<\/em>, the lavishly designed HBO series about New York in the 1880s, opens in Central Park, grazing lambs scatter as carriage after carriage rumbles by loaded with imported furnishings and statues. These European treasures are on their way to fill the Fifth Avenue mansion of nouveaux riche couple Bertha and George Russell (played by actors Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scene signals the gorgeous architecture and interiors to come. And, as every period-drama viewer knows, a house and its decor tell you everything about the people who live there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Another
The home of the Russells (played by Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector) is decorated with French and Italian furniture. “The 19th-century French inlaid Louis XV\u2013style writing desk<\/a> is the perfect choice for Bertha to write all her correspondence on,” Graves notes. “The fabulous draperies are Palazzo Pamphily Stripe by Scalamandr\u00e9<\/a>.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A team led by production designer Bob Shaw and set decorator Regina Graves devised the show’s many sets, including the Russells\u2019 mansion, which flaunts their new money, and the older neighboring brownstone inhabited by sisters Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon), which bespeaks their established wealth and status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graves, who studied to be an interior designer, landed at New York City\u2019s largest prop house straight out of college. She describes her job as similar to that of a designer: She finds the furniture, light fixtures, drapery, art, decorative objects, wallpaper, hardware and flooring for each room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An
Mrs. Russell’s bedroom is inspired by real-life socialite Alva Vanderbilt’s bedroom in her Newport mansion, Marble House. The French Louis XV bed<\/a> was painted and reupholstered in salmon-pink velvet; the custom wall covering, draperies and bedding are all Italian silk.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Graves and the rest of the production team worked with the director to craft environments with layers of life that visually tell each character\u2019s story. They scoured the Internet, as well as antique stores and prop houses, for Victorian<\/a> pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was a certain look that we had to re-create,\u201d Graves says, \u201cespecially with the show\u2019s old-money-versus-new-money storyline.\u201d In the Russell mansion, newly designed by Stanford White<\/a> (the real-life 19th-century architect is played here by John Sanders), everything is grand, large and imported from Europe. Mrs. Russell is trying to impress, or at least entice, New York society with a home boasting acres of marble, hundreds of yards of fabric and elaborate crystal chandeliers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russells’ drawing room includes a Louis XV<\/a> canap\u00e9, side chair and fauteuil upholstered in what Graves describes as a “ginger bronze-silk,” as well as a French Aubusson parlor set. “A beautiful, rich French Aubusson rug<\/a> anchors the room,” she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Across the street from the Russells, inside the brownstone of Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski), the parlor is decorated with stately details, like richly carved wood. Here Mrs. van Rhijn, far left, holds court with, from left, Oscar Van Rhijn (Blake Ritson), Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon) and Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The established Mrs. van Rhijn doesn\u2019t need to impress. Her station is assured, and her brownstone reflects its older heritage. “We decided to wallpaper and dress the rooms in richer colors,” says Graves. “The house is furnished in the traditional American Victorian-era style, with heavily carved ornate furniture covered in damasks, velvets, needlepoint and brocades.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the van Rhijn parlor, “the five-piece walnut-and-ebony Herter Brothers<\/a>\u2013style set was reupholstered in an Italian floral lampas fabric,” she continues. “The centerpiece of the room is an American Empire mahogany table surrounded by four matching chairs of the same period. The silk draperies are by Scalamandr\u00e9<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked how many rooms she devised over the almost two years she worked on the production, Graves laughs. \u201cSo many, I wouldn\u2019t be exaggerating if I said over 100.\u201d That includes rooms on location in historic mansions like Lyndhurst, in Tarrytown, New York; and the Breakers, Chateau-sur-Mer and the Elms, all in Newport, Rhode Island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
A house in Troy, New York, stands in for the Brooklyn residence of the well-off Scott family. Arthur Scott (John Douglas Thompson) and his daughter, Peggy (Den\u00e9e Benton), sit on carved-oak chairs around a damask-covered dining table. The stained-glass windows and china cabinet are original to the location.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These homes were period authentic, but Graves estimates the production crew still had to remove 80 to 90 percent of the furnishings and redecorate with pieces they had acquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe replace the furniture because what\u2019s there isn\u2019t made for being sat in and moved around all day,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s just as much work to redress a location as it is to decorate a stage set.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Scenes set in the drawing room of wealthy widow Sylvia Chamberlain were shot on location at the Sleepy Hollow Country Club, in Briarcliff Manor, New York. “The entire room was redressed by our team in the Rococo<\/a> style,” says Graves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Graves recounts one example of how far the team would go to ensure period accuracy and filming continuity. Several scenes were shot in a hallway at the Elms, which was used to depict parts of the Russell house. The walls in the hallway were upholstered in a 100-year-old red Scalamandr\u00e9 fabric that was no longer in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem was that the hallway could be glimpsed through the door of Mrs. Russell\u2019s bedroom, which was on a soundstage. Graves worked with Scalamandr\u00e9 to find the discontinued fabric in its archives and produce enough to cover the sound stage hallway so that it would match that of the historic location. \u201cYou can\u2019t just paint it red,\u201d Graves notes. \u201cIt has to match exactly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series was created by British screenwriter Julian Fellowes, and many think of it as the American cousin of his wildly popular English upstairs-downstairs drama, Downton Abbey<\/em>. Of course, The Gilded Age<\/em> wouldn\u2019t be a Fellowes production if viewers didn\u2019t also get a glimpse of the working areas of the New York mansions. Graves loves, in particular, the servants’ area of the van Rhijn household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
In the basement of the van Rhijn house, the servants eat at an antique harvest table paired with English-style captain’s chairs<\/a>. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Those sets lack the rich fabrics and ornate decor of the upstairs rooms, but they are still spectacular, with miles of white subway tile and beautiful built-in cabinetry. \u201cThey were decorated in the period but as functional spaces,\u201d Graves explains. \u201cWe were able to layer in copper pots<\/a> and spices. I love the lived-in look.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorating the rooms of The Gilded Age<\/em> will always be a career highlight for her. \u201cJulian and the producers wanted a feast for the eyes,\u201d she says. It\u2019s one that design-loving viewers have been more than happy to devour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
