Maison Taillardat : refined craftsmanship for luxury hotels

Recreating an authentic look featuring prestigious furniture, a central tenet in the decor of luxury estates, requires a rigorous approach and the use of authentic designs. Such is the credo of Taillardat, which uses materials, expertise, and finishes inspired by the 18th-century—the « Age of Enlightenment »—to create rare and unique furniture.
