Angel of the Month

 
Angels and Piglets

Author of Angels of Paris - An Architectural Tour through the History of Paris

Two boyish cherubs, one winged as an angel, the other not, astride playful wild hogs decorate the door pediment of a former mansion on an elegant Parisian street. Originally built in the 17^th century by Pierre Le Muet and later re-worked by Liberal Bruant, both royal architects, the house was continually renovated up until the 20^th century, when it became the headquarters for designer Kenzo. The door with its curious décor appears to be a 19^th century addition; no trace remains to explain the low-relief panel of angelic kids on piglets. Inscribed in 2002 as a classified French landmark, the façade is here to stay.

18 rue Vivienne, 2nd arrondissement (Metro:  Bourse)
