\n

Hotel Talleyrand<\/a> overlooks the Place de la Concorde (2 rue Saint Florentin 75001\u00a0Paris<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 France) and was built in 1767 according to a design by\u00a0Ange-Jacques Gabriel,\u00a0architect of\u00a0Louis XV<\/a>.\u00a0The interiors were designed by\u00a0Jean-Francois Chalgrin.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The building was used as a\u00a0World War I<\/strong>\u00a0hospital,<\/a>\u00a0as a German naval<\/a> office during World War II, and as the headquarters of the United States<\/a> Marshall Plan in the 1950s<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in the center of Paris, the H\u00f4tel de Talleyrand is a historic place of the highest diplomacy and a spectacular example of a late 18th century Parisian house, or h\u00f4tel particulier. The building and interiors, both superior examples of French Enlightenment architecture, were built between 1767 and 1769 for\u00a0Louis Ph\u00e9lypeaux, Count of Saint-Florentin.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The building was bought in 1812 by Maurice de Talleyrand Perigord, who used it to host Heads of State and European Monarchs (The\u00a0Russian Tsar<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>stayed there for several months). Following Talleyrand\u2019s death, the residence was purchased by Baron James-Mayer de Rothschild<\/a> and remained with his family until 1947, when it was purchased by the United States government. To this day, the house is used to receive guests at diplomatic meetings, receptions, conferences, and cultural events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decoration and Restoration<\/span><\/h2>\n

The conservation mission to restore the\u00a0H\u00f4tel Talleyrand<\/strong>\u00a0was initiated in 1999 by the US Department of State.Under the direction of the US Ambassador to\u00a0France<\/strong><\/a>, the\u00a0World Monuments Fund<\/strong>\u00a0joined the conservation effort and successfully implemented the final phase of the work between 2003 and 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n

The restoration focused on a ten-room suite of the so-called\u00a0George C. Marshall<\/strong>\u00a0Center. An extensive study of the decorative schemes was carried out and the analysis of traces of color samples taken to determine the original colors of each room was completed. A gray glue-based paint from the 18th century was identified as the original color coat, and a contemporary replica of this painting was introduced into the rooms, restoring the original decorative scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interior accent surfaces were cleaned,<\/strong>\u00a0wood paneling and ornamentation restored, reconstitution of the original gold and painted finishes completed, and stucco ceilings and\u00a0decorative<\/a>\u00a0plasterwork renewed. Many decorative elements of the state apartments remain in situ; however, the main fireplace was relocated under the direction of the Rothschild family.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the restoration it was returned to its original site between the Great Reception Room and the State Office. The two doors that flanked the home were recreated, completely restoring the original architectural layout<\/span><\/p>\n
