This 220 sq m apartment is located on the principal floor of a 17th-century building on the Île Saint-Louis, facing south and overlooking the Seine. Renovated, furnished and decorated with exceptional care, it draws inspiration from the work of the great French decorators of the 1940s and the Art Deco era. Designed as an ultra-luxury hotel suite, it comprises a magnificent entrance hall, a large living room, a kitchen/dining room overlooking the quay, two principal bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a small additional bedroom with an adjoining shower room.
A broad entrance hall, where a neo-Louis XV banquette by Carlhian faces two pagoda-fronted cabinets by James Mont, opens onto the large living room: a collection of Edward Wormley sofas and armchairs surrounds an Art Deco coffee table topped with a natural leather surface. On a 1940s parchment pedestal stands a magnificent mid-20th-century Italian sculpture. The walls of the entrance hall and living areas are entirely covered in sumptuous 17th-century wood paneling. A balcony runs in front of the living room and continues to the kitchen, providing an ideal space for enjoying a drink or coffee in fine weather, among laurel and camellia bushes.
In the kitchen/dining room, tobacco-colored carpeting gives way to Versailles parquet flooring in the same tones as the wood paneling. Designed as the apartment’s central living space, the main kitchen can accommodate up to 10 people. A concealed door cut into the paneling provides discreet access to a utility kitchen finished in varnished oak and Italian stone, containing the technical equipment and a second worktop where dinners can be prepared more discreetly before being served.
Quietly situated, the private areas overlook the courtyard. Their walls are covered in generous velvet fabric. The first bedroom is accessed from the living room and enclosed by two sets of double doors. A French Carrara marble sculpture stands beside a Neoclassical bust on a pair of elm-burl cabinets. Accessible from both the living room and kitchen, a hallway leads to a large dressing room, the additional bedroom and then the final bedroom. The latter is preceded by a small antechamber furnished with a daybed designed by Jean-Michel Frank and upholstered in beige silk. In the bedroom, two pagoda bedside tables flank a pair of beds by Jacques Adnet.
Underfloor heating throughout, except in the kitchen, which is equipped with cast-iron radiators. Large range cooker in the main kitchen; fully equipped utility kitchen (dishwasher, second hob, extractor hood, 50-bottle multi-temperature wine cellar, separate freezer, coffee machine, etc.). The apartment is offered fully furnished and equipped.
