Upon the death of the original owner's daughter, the property was abandoned, vandalised, and eventually threatened with demolition.

[1] The corner, consisting of three bays, is ornamented with a remarkable wrought iron balcony undergirded by a stone substructure that extends from the base to the first floor, where they "open into volutes."

The upper level of the corner bay is decorated with a large bas-relief by Victor Rousseau entitled La fileuse ("The spinner"), which is an allegory of Time.

The conception of the furniture (which will return to the house in 2022 with the opening of the museum) and the interior decoration is the work of Émile Gallé and Louis Majorelle.

Certain frescoes in the smoking room and the stair hall are the work of the painter Paul Albert Baudouin.
