Description: This work provides a photographic record of over 100 of Paris' historic interiors. The celebrated home of elegant salons, Paris has long fascinated the onlooker. From the opulent staircases of the Second Empire Opera, to the rational unyielding lines of Le Corbusier Villa Roche, this book uncovers the varying ages and styles. Each photograph is accompanied by a short text detailing what is of architectural or decorative interest as well as something of the history of the interior. Comprehensive information on buildings open to the public is provided.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 15) and index.
