{"product_id":"french-royal-wardrobe","title":"The French Royal Wardrobe","description":"The Hôtel de la Marine, an exemplary monument on Paris's Place de la Concorde, is a superb architectural achievement constructed in the eighteenth century by Ange-Jacques Gabriel, the official architect of King Louis XV. The institution it housed was charged with choosing, purchasing, and maintaining all of the king's furniture-from beds to the simplest chair-and the crown's treasures were stored here until 1789, after which it became the site of the Ministry of the Navy for more than two hundred years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An extensive four-year restoration was completed in 2021; the building reopened to the public, and features a museum, conserved apartments that highlight the tastes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, an exhibition hall, a bookshop, and three restaurants. Previously unpublished photography captures the splendor and majesty of the monument.","brand":"Flammarion S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665126952996,"sku":"9782080261328","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9782080261328.jpg?v=1777357308","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/french-royal-wardrobe","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
