No book has hitherto been devoted to the life and work of the architect and interior designer Emilio Terry. Yet this friend of Jean-Michel Frank, Christian Bérard, Boris Kochno, Salvador Dalí, the Vicomte and Vicomtesse de Noailles and so many other luminaries is an iconic figure of the glittering and lavishly creative years of the pre- and post-war periods. On his death, he bequeathed his prolific archive of documents relating to his work to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, so that it should be made available to the public. After consulting this collection of drawings, sketchbooks, plans and maquettes over a three-year period, in this book Pierre Arizzoli-Clémentel documents in unprecedented detail the principal architectural and design projects on which Emilio Terry worked throughout his life. Here for the first time - in a field in which so much has been said and written Emilio Terry's own original documents offer eloquent support to a text that provides a more complete understanding of his work, including notably his projects at Amphion, Lutry, the Château de Clavary, the Villa Loste, the Hôtel de Chanaleilles and the Château de Groussay. A highly evocative biographical essay and comprehensive appendices complete this authoritative work, which will appeal equally to both aficionados of the evolution of tastes and fashion and to connoisseurs of architecture and interior decoration.

•A monograph on a pivotal fifties interior designer, considered one of the most talented and inspired designers of his generation, whose work generated an unrivalled atmosphere in the grand classical style •This book reconstructs Georges Geffroy's interior design projects with the greatest possible accuracy •Generously illustrated throughout with many hitherto unseen images and supported by comprehensive appendices A pivotal figure of 1950s Café Society, Georges Geffroy was venerated in his lifetime as an oracle of grand classical interior design - but this was a classicism revisited, purified and stripped back to its quintessence, far removed from any notion of pastiche. Geffroy's loyal client list featured a 'who's who' of the great names of the time, for whom he created interior designs of supreme refinement. He complemented his decorative schemes with objets and furniture from his favourite period, the late eighteenth century, selected with a famously unerring eye from the most distinguished antique dealers of the time, and draped them with silks chosen with his unique flair for colour. Every detail of his compositions spoke eloquently of his incessant quest for perfection. Declaring his unbounded admiration for the work of Christian Bérard, Geffroy designed celebrated interiors for Christian Dior, a friend from his youth, as well as for the great beauties of the age, goddesses of elegance such as Daisy Fellowes and Gloria Guinness, and icons of taste including Charles de Beistegui, Alexis de Redé at the Hôtel Lambert, and Arturo Lopez in his Neuilly mansion and on his legendary yacht. At the end of his life he crowned his career with his exceptional designs for the great art patron and collector Antenor Patino, a final project that allowed him to showcase his remarkable gifts once more. This book reconstructs Georges Geffroy's interior design projects with the greatest possible accuracy, thanks notably to previously unpublished archive documents and to the valuable contribution of Hubert de Givenchy, one of his most fervent admirers. Generously illustrated throughout with many hitherto unseen images and supported by comprehensive appendices, this is an essential volume for anyone interested in the history of taste, as well as for connoisseurs of architecture and interior design. Text in French.

Versailles ne fut pas au XIXe sicle comme sous l'Ancien Rgime la rsidence des rois ni le sige du gouvernement. Le chteau devint un muse alors que les Trianons furent nouveau habits par les souverains et leur famille sous le premier Empire, la Restauration et la monarchie de Juillet. Il en rsulta d'importants amnagements mobiliers dont la qualit est souvent ignore. Ce livre est la suite de l'ouvrage en deux volumes sur le mobilier des XVIIe et XVIIIe sicles paru prcdemment. Avec plus de trois cents illustrations, il a fait l'objet d'une campagne photographique indite. Pierre Arizzoli-Clmentel et Jean-Pierre Samoyault proposent une description parfaitement documente de cent soixante dix-huit meubles ouensembles conservs Versailles et aux Trianons ; chefs-d'oeuvre de l'histoire du mobilier - l'exemple des meubles raliss avec les malachites offertes par Alexandre I Napolon ou du cabinet-secrtaire en porcelaine de Svres cr la gloire de Versailles - ou tmoins de l'intimit des souverains - comme le mtier broder de l'impratrice Marie-Louise ou les tables du salon de famille de Louis-Philippe -, ils rvlent la richesse et la diversit de l'ameublement de Versailles au XIXe sicle.
