Hubert Guerrand-Hermes L'hotel de Lannion

Collection Hubert Guerrand-Hermès, L'hôtel de Lannion The former Parisian home of the Hubert Guerrand-Hermès collection, Hôtel de Lannion is a testament to the architecture and opulence of the Ancien Régime. Built in 1754 by Jean Damun, architect to the Prince of Conti, the mansion is laid out according to the traditional Parisian townhouse floor plan “between courtyard and garden”. This first-rate reception space dazzles visitors with its interior decoration featuring gilded stucco adornments including the volutes and shell designs of the listed Louis XV Grand Salon, illustrating the persistence of the Rocaille style. Like a tribute to the true purpose of Hôtel de Lannion – which is to showcase the great decorative arts –, Hubert Guerrand-Hermès called upon the decorator François-Joseph Graf when he took possession of the space. The designer had to incorporate a large collection including 18th-century decorative arts, post-war painting, and contemporary sculpture and design, with a certain taste for hunting. In the several rooms Hubert Guerrand-Hermès presented Contemporary confirmed artists such as Daniel Spoerri, David Hockney or Yves Klein along with 18th century furniture such as this exquisite games table stamped by Henri Wirtz, a pair of gilt-bronze ornamental vases with children, circa 1820 or a late Louis XVI gueridon stamped by Adam Weisweiler. He collected original design like these green sofas made by Pierre Paulin but also artists from the Far East with Liu Wei. His taste was eclectic, he was surrounded by French porcelain and classical silver but also by works of art created by César and Max Ernst. Every inch of his hotel was full of art, from photographs by Man Ray to paintings by Jean-Baptiste Oudry with a particular taste for 18th century old master drawings. As a hunting lover, he assembled a set of paintings with dogs, hunting scenes by Jean-Baptiste Huet and Eugène
