ABOUT THE GALLERY
Antique Dealer Since 1988
Having worked as an antique dealer since 1988—first for five years in Paris's historic Marais district, followed by eighteen years in the prestigious 16th arrondissement on Rue de l'Amiral Hamelin—I am today regarded as one of the most experienced specialists in my field.
I specialize in French porcelain, both soft-paste and hard-paste, as well as antique engravings and prints in period frames.
As an expert in 18th and early 19th century French hard-paste porcelain, I have assembled a truly unique inventory, remarkable not only for the number of pieces offered but also for the extraordinary diversity of forms, decorations, and manufactories represented.
My collection includes works from the finest French porcelain manufactories and offers collectors, museums, and enthusiasts an exceptional opportunity to discover rare and important examples of French ceramic art.
Voici une traduction anglaise fluide et professionnelle, adaptée à la présentation de votre site internet et à une clientèle internationale de collectionneurs, musées et amateurs d'art :
A collector and passionate enthusiast myself, I fell in love with French hard-paste porcelain produced between 1760 and 1820.
My particular areas of interest include the great Paris manufactories such as Clignancourt, Dagoty, Locré, Nast, Dihl & Guérhard (known as the Manufacture du Duc d'Angoulême), Rue Thiroux (known as the Manufacture de la Reine), as well as important decorating workshops such as Halley and Deroche. I am equally fascinated by the provincial manufactories of Boissettes, Lille, Bordeaux, Caen, Marseille, Orléans, and many others.
I have also devoted considerable attention to the great soft-paste porcelain manufactories, including Chantilly, Mennecy, Saint-Cloud, Sceaux, Sèvres, and Vincennes.
In addition, I have developed a strong interest in the porcelains commonly referred to as "Compagnie des Indes" wares, produced during the 17th and 18th centuries for export to Europe.
For over thirty years, porcelain has been both my passion and my profession. For more than twenty years, I have specialized exclusively in French porcelain, allowing me to offer an exceptional selection of pieces, including many rare and highly important examples that are seldom encountered on the market.
Every object is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity providing historical information, details of its original use, a full descriptive catalogue entry, period attribution, dimensions, and photographs.
I have also designed this website with particular care, ensuring that it is both intuitive and enjoyable to explore. Whether you are a seasoned collector, a museum curator, a newcomer to the field, or simply curious about French porcelain, I hope you will quickly find the information and objects that interest you.
The website also contains an extensive library of books, articles, historical documents, and research material relating to French porcelain, both antique and modern. These resources are organized by manufactory and by subject, making them easy to consult. You will also find information on museums dedicated to ceramics and porcelain in France and throughout Europe.
New material is added regularly, and the site continues to grow as research and discoveries are made.
I wish you an enjoyable visit and remain entirely at your disposal for any questions or additional information.
