Everything Ebony
Ebonized wood finishes are a specialty at Jean-Marc Fray. We use all-natural, museum quality shellac finish and practice traditional techniques. Lustrous and modern – ebonized wood pieces will make a unique decorative impact in any home. We have a number of prized pieces in our gallery – see our black lacquer design inspirations below, along with a few pieces available in our showroom right now.
From the citron sofa to the black lacquered details on the walls and on the furniture throughout the room – it’s modern luxury with an old-world vibe.
An entryway with dynamic impact. Not only do we love the ebonized table right in the center of it all, but we also adore the geometric floors and ceiling, gorgeous light fixture and brass details throughout the space.
A timeless design featured in Atlanta Homes magazine – there is simply nothing like the contrast between black and white. We can’t get enough of the lustrous piece in the center of the room, along with the glitzy chandelier and sunburst mirror.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t share this beautiful case piece. A gorgeous focal point – we love how it stands out against the gilt touches and deep gray walls.
