Chancellerie d'Orléans, Private mansion in 1st arrondissement of Paris, France.

The Chancellerie d'Orléans features interior designs from prominent artists including Pajou, Fragonard, Gouthière, Durameau, and Lagrenée, displaying both rococo and neo-classical elements.

Built between 1704 and 1705 by architect Germain Boffrand for Philippe d'Orléans, the mansion served as residence for the chancellor of the Duke of Orléans from 1723 to 1752.

The grand salon incorporates a large painted ceiling by Antoine Coypel and represents architectural excellence of early eighteenth-century French aristocratic residences.

The restored interiors of the mansion, completed in fall 2021, are now accessible through guided tours at the Hôtel de Rohan within France's national archives.

Despite its demolition in 1923, the mansion's decorative elements were preserved and reconstructed through a detailed three-dimensional modeling process initiated by the World Monuments Fund.
