Maison Gerard recently decorated a townhouse on 11th street. The address, a four story space located just off University, and around the corner from the gallery, provided us the perfect opportunity to showcase our inventory in never before seen arrangements, and to feature a host of beautiful items either too large or too distinctive to keep in our space on 10th Street year round.
Gallery Principal Benoist Drut and lead decorator Dorothee Mathieux wasted no time in filling the beautiful townhouse, from basement to rooftop patio, with the best Maison Gerard had to offer.
When the dust had settled, Jean Francois Jaussaud, French photographer, art director, and producer, whom Maison Gerard proudly represents (and whose work is featured in the townhouse), stopped by to shoot the finished product. Here are his exquisite photos of a beautiful space well realized.
