63, rue de Monceau, at the edge of the Parc Monceau, VIIIe arrondissement
The house is filled with boiserie and furniture from the 18th Century but was constructed in an eclectic 18th Century style by Comte Moïse de Camondo in 1911. Moïse's daughter was married to the son of Théodore Reinach, who built Villa Kerylos.
forgive the sign
incredible proportional hierarchy
wooden ribbon strung through
the oval library above and below
the way the mirror completes the coffers and rosettes
man can make nature better than God can?
the level of articulation between the ribbon and leaves
the ribbon that spirals around the handle is subtle
every juncture is so considered
gold and grey combination
like leaves dipped in gold
this is what happens in the anti-rooms of a house with extremely irregularly shaped rooms
jib door with painting hung over seam
this carving of intertwined lattice zig zag and ivy
the hanging lamps are so Castaing
I like when french books have white spines
