Boudoir from the Hôtel de Crillon 1772 - 1785

Pierre-Adrien Paris's *Boudoir from the Hôtel de Crillon* is a masterful example of 18th-century French interior design. The intricately carved and gilded woodwork frames delicate, hand-painted floral motifs and a central decorative panel, creating a harmonious and opulent space. This reassembled room, originally from the Parisian Hôtel de Crillon, offers a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of the French aristocracy during the Rococo period. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the carefully chosen furniture, adds to the overall sense of refined elegance that characterizes this period. The *Boudoir* is now a treasured piece of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of 18th-century French decorative arts.
