Dior and Chateau de Versailles: Focus of Fine French Furnishings

The House of Dior has a longstanding history with the palace of Versailles. Recently, the palace's mirrored halls and gilded walls have been playing host to a number of Dior's projects ranging from editorial shoots, and short films featuring the label.

 
Set in one of the most emblematic locations in France, Dior makes the chic connection between fashion and history, luxury and art, brilliant architecture, and beautiful French furniture, specifically shot within the Galerie des Glaces, also known as The Great Hall or The Hall of Mirrors of the Chateau de Versailles .

Seeing this superb display of gorgeous French antiquity, we couldn't help but show some of our own pieces, pieces that pay homage to those within the Palace at Versailles.

Gold - the one word that probably most concisely describes the palace at Versailles. Gold is a reference to the reign and the majesty of Louis XIV, know as The Sun King, the longest reigning king in European history. But of course, gold would not shine as brightly without the proper lighting to capture its luster. The halls of the palace are lined with the most marvelous chandeliers, and our gallery boasts pieces of the same magnificence.

French Empire Crystal and Brass Chandeliers

Two is better than one, as the old saying goes, and that certainly rings true for these twin chandeliers. Draped in luminous crystal, braced in striking brass, these two are a perfect pair, that even the Palace at Versailles would be honored to hang.

The piece is smaller than most buffets we carry in the gallery, but it is this distinction in size that makes it much more versatile than most. Perfect for virtually any room! This piece will do marvelously as a staple for an entry way, a beautiful dining room piece, lowered as a vanity, or converted into a very high class lavabo for an adventurous design or remodel.
