Antonia Oprea

Hôtel Particulier

It lies dormant for decades unseen by all. Private conversations, small intimacies; Hôtel de la Païva.

Hôtel de la Païva, Paris

A winter garden with palms and a chandelier
A dark red velvet room with a low sofa
A small box on a table under a pink lampshade
White teapots and stacked plates on a tray
A gilded arch framing a portrait in a mirrored room
A painted ceiling with a chandelier and a bird in flight
A mirror in a dark panelled room with a pair of chairs
Two chairs against a striped marble wall
A pair of washbasins under a window in a dark bathroom
