Style Louis XVI / Ref.1117

Four curb stones from the 18th century

Dimensions
Width 25'' ⅝  65cm
Height 57'' ⅛  145cm

Origin:
18th century, Hotel Titon-Delbarre in Paris.

Status:
The iron band is very worn and some of the side rings are missing.

Four monolithic curb stones from the XVIIIth century salvaged from the cobble stone courtyard of Hotel Titon-Delbarre, a Parisian private mansion built by Jean-Charles Delafosse in the 1770’s at 58, rue du Faubourg Poissonnière in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. This building, is a testimony of the History of the Faubourg Poissonnière, with its stylish neoclassical private mansions, that were enlarged and redecorated in the Empire and Restoration periods, and turned into large Bourgeois dwellings under the Second Empire, to finally be taken over by businesses and industries in the early 19th century, and by office space in the 20th.

Curb stones were placed at the sides of buildings and entry ways to protect people and property from damage caused by horse drawn carriages
