Information About the Building

In 1883, the French mining engineer and art collector Baron Alphonse Delort de Gléon (1843–1899) acquired the hôtel particulier at 18 rue Vézelay in Paris. Together with the French architect Jules Bourgoin (1838–1908) he integrated the so-called salon ottoman, an artist’s studio in Ottoman style, with 39 stucco and glass windows, placed in the upper part of wooden mashrabiyyāt.
