Official representations at auction
We all know the photograph
ed portrait of the Presidents of the Fifth Republic with the garden of
the Elysée Palace in the background, that adorns each of t
he Hotels in town in France. But the tradition is not new. Before the use of
the daguerreotype, ancestor of the came
ra, the presidents were portrait, reproduced on the Frenc
h currency, but also as a sculpted b
ust profile.

mention the furniture chos
en by the presidents of the Republic without mentioning the highlighting of some designers by our elected. Thus, F
rançois Mitterrand appealed to the designer
Pierre Paulin to decorate and furnish his office. A
t Matignon, the creation of Andrée Putman - a broad plateau in Sycamore, with beige leather armchairs and its consoles - served several Prime Ministers. Also add the role
of first ladies, and notably that of Cl
aude Pompidou. When her husband,
Georges Pompidou became president of the Republic, it introduces a resolutely mo
dern style at the Elysee.
Abstraction and design furniture bloom in the presidential in
side. " I am fully occupied. Redo the old salons is what gave me the most trouble. I wanted to redo the décor, restore sets, find the scattered furniture, redo the silks of origin in Lyon, succeed lighting. I love the decoration. "It's a habit at home: I got home, I really need to live in a setting created by me" will declare Mrs
. Pompidou.

More personal recollections: the correspondence of the statesmen
Th
e correspondence of the presidents of the Republic, which is still a few a
utograph letters at
auction, offers a more personal memory of the heads of State. Thus the study
Ader Nordmann sold on April 30 a letter from the Preside
nt Vincent Auriol, dated 1944, and
addressed to his friend Gast
on Palewski, referring to his relationship with
General de Gaulle. She was sold to
Drouot €563. So, what will be the designer chosen by the 8th President of the Fifth Republic? Answer
