Origin and history

The mansion located at 5 rue Schoelcher in the 14th arrondissement of Paris was designed between 1912 and 1914 by the architect Paul Follot, a major figure in French Decorative Art. In his brother-in-law of the designer Paul Poiret, Follot created a homogeneous decorative ensemble, including hangings, furniture, appliques and carpets, still in place since their installation. The building is distinguished by its curved roof evoking the Nordic houses, its interior and exterior mosaics inspired by Vienna, as well as its sober ironwork attributed to Edgar Brandt.

The protection of the monument is structured around two stops: the inscription in 1999 of the apartment of the entresol and the classification in 2000 of facades, roofs, vestibule and apartment of the first floor. These measures highlight the exceptional heritage value of this ensemble, where each element – from tiles placed on a concrete veil to mosaic details – bears witness to a successful aesthetic and technical research. Vienna's influence and collaboration with exceptional artisans such as Brandt make it a jewel of the Parisian architecture of the early twentieth century.

Although the exact address is 5 rue Victor Schoelcher, the GPS location remains approximate (precision noted 5/10 in the Merimée base). The building, now protected under the Historic Monuments, embodies the dialogue between the French decorative arts and European currents, while posing the question of its accessibility to the public, not specified in the available sources.
