Twybil did you form an opinion as to original color?   Just plain ole white?   Much leak damage now in nw corner of (unheated) room - I fear for this wonderful thing.  c

It would be a supreme tragedy if this room was lost. At the time it was painted an off-white. No finishes testing was done, just plaster repair - resculpting of some contour and figure work and reattaching of plaster keying. Repainted the same color (as I recall Ben Moore OW-7).

 

Need to do a forced "preservation intervention"?
