The Hôtel de Beauharnais, constructed in 1713, gained renown during the Consulate period. In 1803, Josephine Bonaparte acquired the property for her son, Eugène de Beauharnais, and had the building renovated and decorated at great expense. At the fall of the Napoleonic Empire, it was sold to the King of Prussia and became an embassy during the nineteenth century. With its unique Consulate and Empire decor, the palace is an invaluable specimen of Parisian interior architecture. The result of more than ten years of research and restoration work, this book recounts three centuries of European political history through the lives of the Hôtel's successive owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt historian\u003cb\u003e Ulrich Leben\u003c\/b\u003e is the consultant for furniture and interiors restoration at Beauharnais. \u003cb\u003eJörg Ebeling\u003c\/b\u003e is director of research at the Centre Allemand d'Histoire de l'Art and renovation consultant at Beauharnais.
