Empress Sisi of Austria with her poodle. The celebrated beauty was assassinated during a visit to her dear friend Julie de Rothschild in Geneva. Sisi described the gardens of Julie's estate chateau de Pregny as "a remote, enchanted world where tame miniature porcupines from Java and exotic colored birds decorated a private park planted with cedars of Lebanon" #herisson #sisi #legoutrothschild #eeebooks

Hope you too are lounging as elegantly as Henri, Susan G, unknown woman, and Guy? de R are in this mise en scene of 80s opulence #henrisamuel #legoûtrothschild #eeebooks #maximalist
Remembering my visit last summer to Jean Cocteau's enchanted Milly-la-Foret house. Both his desk and his bed were carefully positioned to appreciate the view of the gardens, which include an orchard of various espaliered apple trees #tbt #cocteau #procrastinating
Favorite moment of the day (besides a very lovely gift of pink champagne!) - stumbling upon this 1950 advertisement for Le Baiser Rouge, the first kiss-proof lipstick invented in 1927, illustrated by master of the line Rene Gruau. #renegruau #hotlips #francophile
Hubert de Givenchy's green salon on the rue de grenelle as captured by artist Jeffrey Bailey. I am currently writing about le gout Rothschild for THAT book and in the style of Empress Eugenie, every salon seems to be rouge, vert or blanc. #hubertdegivenchy #jeffreybailey #eeebooks
The work of watercolorist Jeffrey Bailey is astonishing. He captures the light like Walter Gay but is as detailed as Serebriakoff. Here is a rendering he did for Hubert de Givenchy. I first saw his work at Valentino's Wideville and finally managed to hunt him down in Paris. For the Patinos and Beisteguis of today, you need Mr. Bailey's number on speed dial! #hubertdegivenchy #jeffreybailey #roomportrait #frenchdesign
Vertical Garden installation at the Palazzo Fortuny. We are excited to have four of these Fjord poufs by Nuala Goodman just in #eerdmansfineart #eclecticdecor #nualagoodman
Happy Bastille Day! What better way to celebrate in New York than with this photo of Jayne Wrightsman, our patron saint of Fine French Furniture? Photo from Henri Samuel's private collection #francophile #whatwouldjaynedo #hairgoals #bastilleday #henrisamuel #eeebooks
