Famous Blue Entrance at 32 Rue de Miromesnil in Paris – BD3201
You Can Commission To Have These Authentic 19th Century Doors Made For Your Home Or Business
At ArtFactory.com, you can commission master builder H.J. Nick to create custom doors that are not merely inspired by classic European architecture, but built exactly as they were in the 1800s.
This famous blue entrance at 32 Rue de Miromesnil in Paris’s elegant 8th arrondissement. Constructed during Haussmann’s mid‑19th century rebuilding under Napoleon III, is a fine example of the Second Empire style—symmetrical façade, decorative cartouche, wrought‑iron balcony, and bold indigo doors that contrast the pale limestone exterior.
Description
Authenticity Beyond Aesthetic
H.J. Nick doesn’t just replicate design. Using the same hand tools, old-world joinery techniques, and solid, naturally air-cured timber used in the 19th century, each door is brought to life as a museum-quality original—not a modern reproduction.
Exacting Standards. Museum-Worthy Results
This example, featuring dual solid wood panels in a high-polish royal blue finish with circular wrought iron grilles, exemplifies French design excellence. From the elegant raised moldings to historically accurate brass mail slots and hardware, every detail is engineered and sculpted 100% by hand. Any Color Is Available.
Built to Last Forever—Guaranteed Forever
Each door is engineered not just to match antique aesthetic standards, but to exceed modern structural durability requirements. Every commissioned piece includes our forever structural guarantee, ensuring your investment becomes a historic family legacy And Heirloom.
32 Rue de Miromesnil in Paris
Historical & Architectural Significance
- Haussmann-era design: The door and its building were part of Baron Haussmann’s efforts (1850s–1870s) to modernize Paris—creating wide boulevards and unified façade styles, including grand porte cochères often featuring wooden double doors up to ~3.5 m tall.
- Blue as status: Deep blues (navy, indigo, royal) were a mark of refinement in affluent districts like the 8th. The bold hue provided a dignified yet dramatic complement to Paris’s signature creamy stone.
- Doors as architectural storytellers: Parisian doorways—from Haussmann to Medieval in Le Marais, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco—offer clues to the city’s layered history through their ironwork, sculptural details, and stylistic variations.
