1728 – Restaurant Art Gallery – 8, rue d’Anjou Paris 8ème – 00 33 (1) 40 17 04 77
A few words of history… This charming townhouse, located at 8 rue d'Anjou, was built in 1728 by Mazin, a knight and architect for the arsenals of Louis the XVth. He designed a suite of various drawing rooms with an eye for perfectly proportioned, harmonious interior volumes, reflecting his inventive classicism as well as liberal thinking. The construction miraculously survived Baron Haussmann's 19th century urbanization and became a condominium much later in 1931. It has been remodelled throughout the centuries following the various architectural styles of the times from Louis the XVth to Charles the Vth. The 1728 restaurant is situated in what were the reception rooms of Mazin's townhouse. The interior's renovation, carried out between 2001 and 2004, aims to reflect and respect the spirit and original style of the place. The period arms' room, is in the Venetian style, very popular in the 18th century. The music room is decorated in the style of Louis the XVIth with its original flare. The boiseries of the La Fayette drawing room are now in Washington DC, but the oak parquet à la française is original, as are Mazin's friezes depicting an allegory of the virtues of fraternity. The Pompadour room has been entirely restored in the Chinese style, much favoured by the Marquise herself. She held court here rue d'Anjou while her "Hôtel d'Evreux" - which, today, serves as the home of the French president (Palais de l'Elysée) - was under construction. The current library occupies the place of the former ladies' salon, a small room which sadly has lost all trace of its original decoration. The Amateurs cabinet speaks to the heart of learned collectors of beautiful suggestive prints. The small Pompadour salon on the first floor, painted in three shades of gold, is an inventive design based on one of the Marquise's favourite themes. A true connoisseur of the arts, she gave Faubourg Saint-Honoré its special colour which has endured through time, blending multiple talents and cultures in a setting at once, modern and classic.
