Truly magnificent. So much beauty that was put in the most simplistic and practical everyday pieces. Chataues are usually cold and drafty. To retain heat they draped the walls with fabric until they started applying fabric and wall paper directly to the walls. This is one of the most beautiful wall drapery applications I have seen. Also the beds and doorways were commonly draped for the same reason, to stay warm. Of course they had access to the finest fabrics of the day. I imagine they would change some of the draperies seasonally, probably the beds. Many just see the luxurious beauty, and it is very beautiful but also very practical to stay warm and survive. Later, in homes the ceilings we're contructed to be not as high, and often if one would purchase a home with high ceilings they would install drop ceilings for practicality because heat rises, But the home would lose a main part of it's granduer. Wonderful tour and video, really enjoyed it. 💕Tfs, just subscribed and looking forward to enjoying your channel, hope you do more Chataue tours.

I think there is certainly classical and rococo but I think it’s feminine not masculine. It’s elegant and tastefully stated. I’ve read a lot about her and her family and Napoleon. Josephine loved roses and muted pink, ‘Josephine rose,’ her daughter Hortense called it. I just watched the rest, the ‘two sewing machines,’ are because she and Hortense spent a lot of time together there and they’d sew little pieces. Thank you for this!

I just stumbled on this video and it took me right back to my one and only visit to Malmaison some years ago. Such a stylish and beautiful place, so full of atmosphere. A return visit is long overdue. You are right on the money when you mention the Empire style having started with Marie-Antoinette. The set of seat furniture for St Cloud by Sené dating from 1788 (now in the Met) and more than a full decade before Malmaison absolutely attests to this. I also note your comments on the colours. It seems the French work from a completely different palette to the Anglosphere, which may explain why Parisians are currently going nuts for Farrow and Ball!

@@elizabethpengson8244 There is a definite chronology but I’ve always considered Directoire as something of a brief sidestep and more of a pared down continuation of Louis XVI than a precursor to Empire.

BUT they were able to find & bought back some.. not the desk.. as when I returned to London where I was living then.. few months later.. right on the cover of House & Garden mag.. was this Napoleonic collection & his desk.. this English couple were avid collectors of all things Napoleon.. & they had hi s desk from Malmaison.. his lamps.. his death mask! one of 3. who knows whose got the third.. as the second is at Musee D'Armee..

@@elizabethpengson8244 There had been solid silver furniture early on in the Grande Galerie at Versailles but it was melted down by Louis XIV to pay for a war. There are currently gilded wood stools there but I don't know how much they would have have been used for any actual sitting given the very strict rules about who could sit at any time and in the presence of whom. From the Bourbons through Napoleon, the Restoration, July Monarchy and Napoleon III there is an almost incalculable amount of this stuff that these people had made, some of which was sold at the time of the Revolution but much still remains in the Garde Meuble National near Paris for use by the French Government. And then of course there is what is now in the Louvre, Versailles and important collections (Getty included) around the world. There seems to be more than enough of it to go round! I remember watching a video on youtube where curators had just finished restoring a room in the Palais Royal and were hoisting a huge chandelier into place. It turned out to be one of the chandeliers used to light Reims cathedral for the coronation of Charles X and this was one of sixteen, used ONCE. It really brought home the sheer scale of how much there is.

Joséphine de Beauharnais, 1st wife of Bonaparte, had exquisite taste. Michael Canadas, if you could only see the Parisian palace of her son, Eugène de Beauharnais, stepson of Bonaparte, which she decorated, at extravagant costs. The national archives has letters from Bonaparte complaining about it. It's now the private residence of the Ambassador of Germany. The Hotel de Beauharnais has been entirely restored to its original state. It's a splendour, one of the most beautiful "hôtels particuliers" (aristocratic townhouse) in Paris.

E for Eugene? Josephine's son.. or EUGENIE for Louis-Napoleon's wife. This manse was considered modest for that period & that's what J loved about it.. For her collection of Roses.. Josephine had a green thumb and adored her rose garden.. she had species that weren't even available in France.. to have an idea of what she had.. check out the collection of Rose Prints by REdoute'.. these rose prints that are still so popular were J's roses.. She commissioned him to paint illustrations/watercolours of all her roses.. some the breeds available then are even extinct. Then for the glory of the Empire period. Eugene de Beauharnais bought this manse then totally renovated it .. it is now. the GErman Embassy.. or Residence of the German Ambassador.. the Germans bought it in 1960's.. Napoleon used to go there.. it's in the Left Bank close to the Seine around Musee D'Orsay.. OH MY.. sublime.. and so rich.. it was kept intact. We don;t get a real feel f or Napoleon's residences or very limited as he & J resided at the Tuileries.. N had it renovated for occupancy.. later improved & further renovations by Louis-N.. but this palace was burnt down during the Commune Revolt of the 1860's? so much damage was done that it was never rebuilt.. I still mourn about this.. what a shame. what a loss.. the Tuileries was originally built for Catherine de Medici when she was the Queen mother.

The name "Malmaison" comes from the village. A very, very old name, which roots are early medieval. The explanation could be the damages caused by the norsemen during the 9th century there : "Mala Mansion" (mansion is a Latin word that passed in the English language) which could mean : Domain of Misfortunes.
