Twenty years after the release of “Marie-Antoinette”, Sofia Coppola’s acclaimed film continues to captivate with its distinctive aesthetic, blending historical elegance with contemporary audacity.
To mark this anniversary, the presents an immersive exhibition at the Petit Trianon, inviting visitors behind the scenes of this iconic film. Original costumes, props, set photographs and recreated interiors bring its most memorable scenes to life in the very rooms where they were filmed.
Throughout the exhibition, Tassinari & Chatel fabrics offer a further glimpse into this rich decorative heritage. In the Grand Salon, red-toned textiles adorn the seats and curtains. In the Queen’s celebrated Cabinet of Moving Mirrors, armchairs upholstered in the LES FORGERONS lampas reveal the remarkable history of a design that has travelled through centuries and distinguished interiors.
First used in 1787 for the bedroom of Thierry de Ville d’Avray at the Hôtel de la Marine, this design was later selected in 1968 for the Jacob furniture of the Count of Provence, now housed in the Queen’s Bo***ir at the Petit Trianon. Today, LES FORGERONS finds a new resonance in Sofia Coppola’s cinematic vision, bringing together textile heritage, decorative arts and the enduring allure of the film.
