That moulding sure is fantastic. I wonder if anyone ever set out to make copies of it? I wouldn't mind decorating my house like this (once I get down to it and start building...)
Respectfully, it is Mme. de Pompadour's Petit Trianon. She, with her brother the Marquis de Marigny, planned the Petit Trianon & the Place de la Concorde. Before her influence, Rococo was looked down upon & considered frivolous. Marie Antoinette clearly has fine taste, but she had an extraordinary legacy from which to draw.

ReplyDeleteA pleasure. Probably pretty obvious I'm an admirer of the Marquis, but they're both such incredibly interesting women!
