Rare antique porcelain sets at Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

in History and Culture

The Villa was built by Baronness Béatrice de Rothschild in 1912, just before World War I. This is one of many beautiful estates in Europe that symbolize the end of the Belle Epoque.

Baronness donated the estate in 1934 and now it is a museum. The building itself is unique as well as many art objects collected by Beatrice. There are rare clocks, carpets, furniture pieces and an amazing porcelain collection.

There are two rooms dedicated to porcelain. The plates, dishes, and cups are well preserved and provide a glimpse into the historic dining room of the Louis XV era.
