The house is an outstanding example of late 19th – early 20th-century architecture.
Built in 1881 by Giorgi Kartvelishvili, a philanthropist, public figure, and merchant of the First Guild, who was renowned as an active sponsor of Georgian culture, literature, and music.
In the early 20th century, his son, Nikoloz Kartvelishvili, commissioned architect Simon Kldiashvili to reconstruct the house. As a result, the facade acquired European Art Nouveau elements, becoming one of the first examples of this style in Tbilisi.
Architecture and Features:
The facade is decorated with unique ornamental elements, including metal balconies and artistic details characteristic of Art Nouveau.
At the entrance, there is a unique Georgian inscription — "Salami" (Greetings), making the building a standout in the city's historic center.
The interiors were adorned with painted walls featuring Northern European mythological motifs and romantic scenes, creating the atmosphere of a cultural salon.
Cultural Life and Receptions:
The Kartvelishvili house was more than a residence; it was a cultural hub of Tbilisi.
It hosted grand receptions, musical, and literary salons attended by the intelligentsia, artists, writers, and musicians. Theatrical performances and musical concerts featuring famous artists of the era were held here.
Nikoloz himself received his musical education in Paris.
Today, the house remains a significant cultural and architectural monument of Tbilisi.
19th-century heritage.
