🔥Fireplaces have no mirrors—highly unusual for the era

Wander through François-Joseph Bélanger's preserved 1779 interiors for the Count of Artois, where Medusa heads, Bacchantes, and lascivious drapery signal the dawn of the Directoire aesthetic. The mirrorless fireplaces and mineral-themed dining room feel like stepping into a neoclassical fever dream.
