For more than 80 years, D. PORTHAULT has continually revolutionised the world of household linen. Over the years, this brand has forged a reputation as the "couture brand" in home linens. Villa Demoiselle has been fortunate to host the Maison D. Porthault.
For the first time, the Villa Demoiselle will put on display part of Henry Vasnier’s art collection. Vasnier (1832-1907) headed the firm Pommery until 1907 and was one of the most generous donors to the Reims Museum of Fine Arts. Indeed, he bequeathed almost 600 works of art to Reims for a new museum. This outstanding collection is representative of the pictorial and artistic audacity of the nineteenth century and relates to the affirmation of landscapes as an important genre and the evolution of decorative arts.
