Pont Street Penthouse: Multi-Medium Installation in Chelsea
Heavy mirror installation on the properties luxury roof terrace.
Gilbert Art Services recently completed an extensive artwork installation project for a private residence on a period street, situated just moments from Harrods and Sloane Square.
Located within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Pont Street represents the pinnacle of London’s architectural heritage. Characterised by its iconic red-brick gables, this affluent area connecting Knightsbridge and Belgravia demands an installation service that respects both historical integrity and modern luxury.
The Installation: Victorian Aesthetics and Modern Art
Working within an Edwardian-era property requires a deep understanding of traditional building techniques. Our technicians navigated high ceilings and original plasterwork to install a diverse collection of artworks that defined the home’s interior character.
The project scope included:
Mirror Installation: Positioning a variety of unique mirrors to enhance the natural light typical of tall-gabled Chelsea architecture. See our mirror hanging page for our full range of mirror services.
Wall Sculptures: Mounting three-dimensional contemporary pieces including African masks that required specialised weight-bearing brackets hidden discreetly behind them.
Bespoke Framed Artwork: A curated series of fine art photography and paintings, arranged as a gallery wall and aligned with millimeter precision to complement the room’s decorative cornicing.
Wall sculpture and mirror hanging in the newly refurbished living room.

In a high-end neighbourhood like Chelsea, the handyman approach is never enough. We always go the extra mile and provide a leading, top-tier service. Our professional picture hanging methodology for this project focused on three core pillars:
Expertise: Utilising specialised masonry anchors capable of securing heavy loads into solid brick walls without risking structural cracks or damage.
Laser accuracy: In rooms with large walls and ceilings we employed advanced laser levelling to ensure all pieces sat in perfect harmony with the architectural lines of the property.
White-Glove Service: We maintain a strictly clean workspace. Our zero-mess guarantee ensured the residence remained tidy throughout the entire installation process. We take care to use shoe covers, floor protection and nitrile gloves when working inside the property and when handling artwork.
