Our large house was built on a piece of land acquired by Baron Adolphe de Rothschild during the 19th century. During the construction of the château de Prégny, on an adjoining estate, the baron built a pavilion, which he occupied until the end of the château's construction, and built a small port. All these constructions were finally destroyed and the land was sold in 1929 to Mr. Jean Amstutz. Our model corresponds to the Louis XIII style pavilion called "Port Rothschild" built in the 20th century by the Amstutz family, according to the plans of the architect Marc Gignoux. Its interior design was entrusted to Mr. Bonjean, a Geneva decorator, and the execution of the model to Alexandre Sérébriakoff. Today, the pavilion is the home of the ambassador of the People's Republic of China. Born in a family of artists close to Serge de Diaghilev, Alexandre Sérébriakoff emigrated to France after the Russian Revolution. His activities as a decorator led him to rub shoulders with Parisian and London high society, whose occupations and lifestyles he portrayed. His watercolors immortalized the interiors of Mr. and Mrs. Arturo Lopez-Willshaw, the pavilion of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the hotel of the Baron de Rédé, the collection of Charles de Beistegui but also the taste of the Rothschilds or the Schneiders.
