Parisian Haussmann Apartment with Rococo Décor

In the heart of the 9th arrondissement, on Rue d’Amsterdam, this 80 m² flat is a rare find: its Haussmann-style décor has been fully preserved, with carved wood panelling and Rococo mouldings enhanced with gold leaf transforming every wall into a work of art. One is immediately reminded of an 18th-century drawing room – a miniature Versailles perched above the rooftops of Paris.

The large, open-plan reception room boasts spectacular ceiling heights, a herringbone parquet floor, a carved marble fireplace and a row of tall windows that bathe the space in light. Antique mirrors with gilded frames are arranged in pairs from wall to wall, multiplying the sense of space.

The interplay between heritage and contemporary design is what makes this place so unique: a curved sofa in immaculate bouclé, a Klein blue rug, sun-yellow side tables and designer chandeliers with corolla-shaped shades provide an elegant contrast to the classical décor. At the heart of the reception area, the open-plan kitchen—entirely clad in brushed brass, with a curved central island, a light-coloured stone worktop, and built-in oven and hob—is a true functional sculpture.

The bedroom offers a radically different atmosphere, warm and cosy: a sculpted terracotta ceiling, a textured wall with coppery highlights, a tufted headboard and bed linen with powder-pink accents. A white glass partition with Art Nouveau lines opens onto the en-suite bathroom and its vintage freestanding bath – a setting straight out of a fashion shoot. A walk-in wardrobe with ample storage completes the bedroom, whilst the guest toilet, lined with safari-print Toile de Jouy, extends this refinement down to the very last detail.

A photogenic space from every angle, just as perfect for an exceptional stay as it is in front of a camera lens.
