In times past, women have taken heart to craft a life of luxury for their family. In this effort some of the most incredible and influential interiors have been invented. In the time of Marie Antoinette, interiors were crafted that inspired many to come. The Petit Trianon of Queen Antoinette was a sanctuary that provided her the safety she needed to cope with the barrage of expectations that were bestowed upon her.
In 1905, Beatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild chose Cap Ferrat in the south of France to construct such a sanctuary. Borrowing from Queen Antoinette’s vision, there was no expense spared; some of the pieces from the Baroness’s chateau being from artists such as Tiepolo and decorative panels taken from the Hotel Paris.
