  Maison Chenal above & LaCour House below Indisputably, this is the most important collection of Louisiana French Creole and Acadian decorative arts, furniture, portraits, and architecture in the WORLD! The collection reflects the extraordinarily rich international cultural transference from France, Canada, Spain, Africa, the Carribean, Mexico, England, and native America that emerged in the Mississippi River Valley from the early 18th century to about 1830. The Holden Collection represents a lifetime of connoisseur collecting, with a keen focus, shared by Dr. and Mrs. Jack D. Holden. It has been their passion to preserve French Creole and Acadian culture in situ. About 1,400 objects, made or used in Louisiana, comprise the Holden Collection. The real estate consists of 75 acres of mature landscape on a waterway with access to False River. I am proud that the Holdens have been my mentors for most of my life; I could not have asked for any better. I am also excited that Garden & Gun Magazine is featuring Maison Chenal, LaCour House, the gardens and the Holden Collection in this August/September 2019 issue - just released! You are invited to view the extensive Property Information Packet. Additionally, just below the packet, there's also "The Book," Maison Chenal & LaCour House Properties and Collections: A French Creole Tout Ensemble, for even more history details. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to possess the quintessential French Creole tout ensemble offered at $3,850,000. My best from Bourbon Street, Peter W.

I’m humbled and in awe of my parents lifetime work: to preserve the early French Creole culture of Louisiana. So many memories! And it’s been a wonderful family journey along the way. Now in their advanced years, their primary interest is grandkids and family. 7/11/2019 09:00:00 pm
Chandler, I am honored to assist your parents in this effort!
