Maison Hannon

The Hôtel Hannon is a historic town house in Brussels, Belgium. Constructed between 1903 and 1904, in Art Nouveau style, for the industrialist Édouard Hannon, it is the only house in that style designed by the architect Jules Brunfaut. The house combines Marie’s taste for botany and Édouard’s taste for poetry, Greek antiquity and technology. The interior is furnished entirely by Émile Gallé, the French master of Art Nouveau, and features contemporary works by James Ensor, Victor Rousseau and Émile Claus. The frescoes in the stairwell and reception room are by Paul Baudouin.
