Aside from the wonderful coral color, what impresses me most is that it has traditional Chinese design elements but it also honors the size and scale of Parisian architecture, too.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-68271383398200572772011-08-03T10:04:43.654-03:002011-08-03T10:04:43.654-03:00I visited this gallery in 2002, but I haven't ...I visited this gallery in 2002, but I haven't checked it out since then.

The business is run (according to my research) by the two grandsons of M. Loo. I await your answer.<br /><br />beau gosse, I think that Loo was instrumental in Western awareness of Chinese art and was a primary broker of Chinese art objects to the Rockefellers. It was an interesting time as the dealers and brokers generated the demand for Chinese art. He died around 1957<br /><br />anni, yes, when I "mapped it" for this post, I did notice the Hilton just down the street.<br /><br />dive, I think that I only scratched the surface of the history and richness within. Perhaps you can discover more. I did read that as of several years ago you could rent certain rooms for catered functions, receptions, etc.<br /><br />Hana - Your photos are wonderful and really show the larger view of this architecture with some beautiful details as well. Thanks for the link!<br /><br />Starman - I hope that you can make it there.<br /><br />Alan - I will check out your "sister post" next week!<br /><br />To all, thank you for your comments. This was a surprise to find in the midst of the more traditional buildings of the Haussman period. The color is the rich coral/red of the higher floors, the lower one appearing a bit washed out.Genie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-42997592446452738992011-08-03T00:15:12.399-03:002011-08-03T00:15:12.399-03:00Not something I would expect to see in Paris.
