Charles Percier was a renowned French architect and interior designer who lived from 1764 to 1838. He is best known for his collaborations with Pierre Francois Leonard Fontaine, with whom he created magnificent works of art and architecture. One notable piece attributed to Percier is the Londonderry Vase, crafted in 1813 by the Sevres Porcelain Manufactory. This exquisite vase showcases his exceptional attention to detail and artistic flair. In addition to his work on decorative objects, Percier also designed busts, including one of himself alongside Pierre Francois Leonard Fontaine in 1839. These busts serve as a testament to their enduring partnership and shared creative vision. Percier's talent extended beyond small-scale pieces; he also contributed significantly to architectural projects such as the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. His intricate decoration featuring eagles, rosettes, and acanthus leaves added grandeur to this iconic structure. The Chateau de Malmaison bears witness to Percier's skill in interior design. The Yellow room or Napoleon's bedchamber exemplifies his ability to create opulent spaces that exude elegance and luxury. Throughout his career, Percier left an indelible mark on numerous residences worldwide. One example is the dining room at Chateau de Malmaison, showcasing his collaboration with architects Pierre-Francois-Leonard Fontaine. His expertise extended beyond residential spaces; he also designed study rooms for royalty like the King of Spain in Paris. These interiors were meticulously planned down to every detail, reflecting both functionality and beauty. Percier's influence even reached into the realm of painting studios; he designed a studio for CI that perfectly combined practicality with aesthetic appeal. Not limited solely to interiors, Charles Percier made significant contributions towards ecclesiastical architecture too. Notably, he worked on Reims Cathedral where he created stunning interior elevations, including one featuring a statue of Louis II.
