The Rococo or Louis XV Salon
This salon, a jewel of the Rococo style, bursts with whimsy and movement, its walls a vibrant red. The carved wooden furniture—curved chests of drawers, a table with scalloped legs—and the mirrors with asymmetrical frames shaped like seashells or rocaille motifs create a theatrical and voluptuous atmosphere. The checkerboard floor completes this decor, both luxurious and welcoming, typical of the reign of Louis XV. A place where art becomes play, and luxury, poetry.
At the center of this room, with its distinctly Rococo style, stands a magnificent freestanding cabinet in the Flemish style. Its dark colors contrast perfectly with the flamboyant decor and blend beautifully with the two gilded wooden columns, one in the Louis XIV and the other in the Regency style. The room is further decorated with imposing baluster candelabra and a pair of gilded bronze andirons placed atop the cabinet.
On a very imposing giltwood console table in the typical Italian Baroque style of the 18th century, rest a very large ovoid vase in gilt bronze and a candelabra Louis XVI style
In this eclectic setting, a magnificent Louis XV period mirror in gilded and carved wood stands in the center of the room like a messenger from the past. Placed above a fireplace adorned with a pair of andirons, it is flanked on its left by a Louis XV cartel clock in Boulle marquetry, which overlooks a superb, typically Louis XV display cabinet with marquetry decoration.
