HISTORIC HOUSES OF PARIS BOOK

THAMES & HUDSON - Hardback
Regular price € 89
A unique glimpse inside a world of luxury, tradition, and splendor. Many historic homes in Paris serve as residences to foreign ambassadors; these historical sites are closed to the general public. From a seventeenth-century h̫tel particulier, to a Belle Epoque palace, to a distinctively contemporary setting, each residence rivals the next in its beauty, art collection, and period furniture set against a backdrop of accomplished refinement. Alain Stella invites us over the threshold inside the most prestigious chancelleries and ambassador residences in Paris‰ÛÓfrom China and Peru to Egypt and Poland. Tapestries inspired by Goya‰۪s drawings grace the lavish salons at the Spanish residence. Jean Prouv̩ and Charlotte Perriand created a minimalist interior at the Japanese residence that evokes the refined style of a traditional Japanese home. The palace of Eug̬ne de Beauharnais‰ÛÓhome to the German ambassadors since 1818‰ÛÓretains its elaborate Empire style, intact since the time of Josephine. Superb photographs, specially commissioned for this book over the course of a year, divulge the secrets of these previously unpublished artistic and architectural treasures.
