These boiserie panels were installed in the Pavillon Colombe, Sainte Brice, by the celebrated novelist Edith Wharton. Designed by Bélanger, the pavillon Colombe was commissioned by Vassal in 1769 and housed the mistress of the Prince de Guéméné, Mary Catherine Colombe. Following her acquisition of the Pavillon Colombe after the 1914 war, Edith Wharton proceeded to restore it to its former glory and 'fitted the little room she made with beautiful things' (Cyril Connolly and Jerome Zerbe, Les Pavillons, London, 1962, p. 62-7). These boiserie panels are illustrated in situ in the principal bedroom (ibid., p. 67)
