A Collector's residence

Through the art dealers and experts she befriended, Baroness Ephrussi de Rothschild sought out artworks all over the world, transforming the Villa at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat into a collector’s paradise overflowing with a harmoniously elegant blend of rare porcelain, old master paintings and antique furniture.

Furniture, paintings and china

The Louis XV and Louis XVI rooms on the ground floor house a remarkable collection of 18th century furniture and paintings, as well as an astounding collection of china.   

The first floor's collections 

The Villa’s first floor is taken up with the most exquisite pieces of the Baroness’s collections. The tapestry room, whose Jacob furniture is upholstered with Beauvais tapestry, the singeries room decorated with monkeys showing human follies, and the Fragonard room comprise this unrivalled first-floor ensemble.
