Hôtel Lambert: The Illustrious Collection
The Hôtel Lambert, built in the early 1640s and located on the secluded Île Saint-Louis in the heart of Paris, is the most staggeringly beautiful private residence in the city.
This palatial private house was decorated by the artistic visionaries behind the Palace of Versailles, architect Louis Le Vau, and painters Charles Le Brun and Eustache Le Sueur. Since then, it has been home to various illustrious families from Polish Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and his descendants, to the Baron de Rede’ who hosted his legendary Bal Oriental in 1969 and the Rothschilds.
A public exhibition will precede the auctions, open to visitors from 6-11 October. The auctions will be commemorated with six volumes. From 11-14 October, Sotheby’s Paris will offer the contents across five live auctions, and an online sale, accompanied by a series of catalogues comprising six volumes.

This is art, the likes of which we will never witness again. To have it dismantled and sold off piecemeal is a sacrilege.

It was one rich men collection closed to the public, now some of these pieces are bought by french instututions and are available for all to enjoy, while some others are in another rich people hands. It is bigger pleasure to see some of these pieces live in Versailles or in Louvre then in video :) However ot ios wonderful video!
Singularly and spectacularly beautiful. How I wish the place and the pieces would remain intact for hundreds of years.
Stunning. There was not one thing that I did not like. The colors in each room, the transitions, the arrangements of each and every piece, balance, cheerful rooms. And the music just took us along the journey of visual splendor.

Since the 1830s until 1860s, when the residence belonged to the Czartoryski family, it was THE HEART OF POLAND. After the collapse of the November Uprising against Russia thousands of Poles were forced to leave their homeland. The Palace hosted the Czartoryski Collection including paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello Santi e Rembrandt (now in Kraków) and some of the greatest Poles used to meet there including Fryderyk Chopin and Adam Mickiewicz. I am so sorry this historic Paris residence is no more in Polish hands :-(
That such collections still exist, in such a impeccable setting.
Wonderful places like this should be protected. ❤💚🙂

You are right. "With the motto ‘From the Past to the Future’, Princess Izabela set up the museum in Pulawy, Poland to store Polish and other historic memorabilia. Da Vinci’s ‘The Lady with an Ermine’ was added to the collection by Izabela’s son, Adam, upon his return from Italy. After his political career failed, Adam moved to Paris along with the collection which was set up at Hotel Lambert. "

I don't know how many possessions of Prince Czartoryski family is still there; hope not many. At least the library and the museum came to Krakow. Czartoryskis couldn't afford to keep the Hotel at the beginning of XX c. Count Zamoyski obtained it, then finally arabian prince or sheikh. Chopin played so many times there, the core of the Great Polish Emigration met there , so sad, really...🇵🇱🌹

@@user-po3ko9yb5w French telecom billionaire Xavier Niel who bought the place a few years back for 200M€, from arabs (who burned it down for insurance money because they wanted to dig a swimming pool and a batman parking elevator) .

From an article in The Guardian, "In 2007, the Hôtel Lambert, whose Hercules Gallery was painted by Versailles decorator Charles Le Brun, was acquired by Qatari royal Sheikh Hamad Bin Abdullah Al Thani who carried out an extensive €120m (£100m) renovations and filled it with his extensive personal collection of art and decorative works. It is this collection now being offered for sale by Sotheby’s in October."

fail to mention the destruction of the bath cabinets, with 17th-century frescoes, completely burned by the fire that caused the extensive and unnecessary modifications (such as elevators for cars) modifications disapproved by the society of Heritage Protection for danger to the structure and that months later all Parisians watched helplessly as the worst omens happened. Oh yep, and dames to the glorious gallery as well...

Il appartenait à la famille Czartoryski à partir de 1843, date à laquelle il fut racheté par le prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, qui découvrit, par Fryderyk Chopin, la mise en vente d'un immeuble assez vétuste sur l'île Saint Louis. Fryderyk Chopin et Adam Mickiewicz vivaient dans la résidence. À son apogée, le bâtiment était traité comme une représentation diplomatique non officielle de la Pologne. La famille Czartoryski a possédé le bâtiment jusqu'en 1975, date à laquelle le baron Guy de Rothschild l'a acheté.
Just perfect 👌

built in 1640... When Paris dreamed to be a second Rome... Many french queens were italians... We must not forget it ! French Kingdom was fascinated by Italy then... (and still is cultural sense of the verb "fascinated of course). French culture is probably one of the classic culture in the world.

Cher Bob, je ne me souviens que de deux reines italiennes : Catherine et Marie de Médicis (pour la période qui couvre la Renaissance et les Temps Modernes), les autres étant Claude de France, Marie Stuart, Élisabeth d'Autriche, Louise de Lorraine, Anne d'Autriche, Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche, Marie Leczynska, et Marie-Antoinette d'Autriche : les reines italiennes furent plutôt une exception. Mais là où je vous rejoins sans peine, c'est sur l'influence qu'elles eurent sur la Cour de France et les Arts.

Some families were just extremely rich. Luckily they spent a lot of their money to beauty, so that it is preserved and we too can enjoy it occasionally.
Its a outrage that the building that housed these treasures [itself a PRICELESS treasure of French patrimoine], was wrecked by the Qatari Royal Family, when they owned it . Air conditioning was installed, along with acres of basement garaging, Staircases were gutted [to be replaced with a lift]- ALL done secretly and ILLEGALLY without the correct 'historic building' permits required by the Government, and [almost certainly] by the same SLAVE LABOUR utilised to build the facilities for the upcoming World Cup, so outrageously awarded to Qatar, by the [generously bribed] FIFA authorities. EVERY single item in the auction ought to be confiscated from the auctioneers, and given to the French people as recompense,..

STAGGERING is the right word. But why is it all being auctioned off now ? I think the actual house is gorgeous, but the sheer quantity of the possessions this house contains is mind blowing - I am so glad I am not a maid working there - can you imagine dusting all that stuff ? Really beautiful things each one of which could be appreciated so much more were it to be displayed by itself instead of being swamped by so much other stuff. Really if this is one family's home it is a ridiculous example of a human having more money than they know what to do with - and I am so glad that's how it appears to me ! I would love to be at the auctions to see all this stuff slowly moving away with new owners. Some of that furniture is beautiful so that would be a shame to sell away from the house. Then if they are selling everything off what is to become of the house itself ? please create a video of it's future if you can !!!
