Origin and history

The Mirande villa was built between 1922 and 1928 in Saint-Cloud for the playwright and filmmaker Yves Mirande, on the plans of architect Louis Sue. Originally commissioned by Gustave Quinson, director of the Palais-Royal theatre, it embodies a blend of classical elegance and modernity, evoking the follies of the 18th century. Its white-coated mill architecture and interior decorations, signed by artists such as the painter André Mare or the ironmaker Richard-Georges Desvallières, make it a unique testimony of Art Deco aesthetics.

Sold in 1928 to industrialist Émile Sabatier, the villa underwent interior renovations until 1931, always led by the Compagnie des Arts Français. Although the property has since been fragmented, the main building, classified as Historic Monument in 1986, retains its mascarons carved by landscape architect Paul Vera. Its history reflects the artistic collaborations of the time and the patronage of the cultural and industrial elites.

Located at 3 rue de Montesquiou in Saint-Cloud (Hautes-de-Seine), the villa illustrates the legacy of the crazy years in Île-de-France. Its inscription in the inventory of Historical Monuments protects a work where architecture and decorative arts dialogue, marking the climax of an artistic movement that redefined residential luxury in the inter-war period.
