Vendome Pillows

Its veneer is made out of 425 spiralling bas-relief bronze plates made out of cannon taken from the combined armies of Europe. The plates were designed by various famous sculptors of the time. Only the base of the column is shown here. All images are taken with a Canon 5D III...

Its regular architecture and pedimented screens canted across the corners give the rectangular Place Vendôme the aspect of an octagon. The Place Vendôme has been renowned for its fashionable and deluxe hotels (such as the Ritz Hotel). Also, many famous dress designers have had their salons in the square. The only two remaining are the shirt-maker Charvet (at number 28 - this store has been there since 1877) and the couturier Chéruit (number 21).
