About Thierry
From passionate collector to antique dealer, the path seemed obvious, and yet…As a legal expert in France, nothing destined me to completely change career, and become an antique dealer one day.
It was while visiting antique shows in the USA that the idea of making my collection public and sharing my passion became obvious to me.
My first foray into the Shows, though limited at first, was nevertheless encouraging, allowing me to meet passionate clients.
I was certain that French Art and Antiques were greatly appreciated, but after meeting with the first collectors I was quickly enthralled with their need to share, understand, and learn about the history and authenticity of the pieces.
There was only one step left to take, that of making this passion my profession.
From then on, I made a point of selecting with meticulousness and rigor each piece that I present ere to collectors.
I am always in search of the rarest piece, but also of those which will sublimate a collection.
The drawings cover a period going from the 17th to the 19th century, with Italian Old Master’s and talented French Artists.
Sometimes, with the luck of a beautiful discovery, my collection features artists of different nationalities, but always possessing indisputable talent.
The gallery of paintings is mainly composed of French Artists, covering the periods of ‘Pleinairisme’, with the ’Barbizon School’, ‘Realisme’ and finally ‘Impressionisme’ and Post- Impressionisme.
Many of the paintings presented stem from the School of Rouen for which I have a particular fondness.
Though the choice of a painting must always remain a question of personal sensitivity, in my findings I try to select artists and works whose appreciation and value on the art market is on the rise.
Each painting is unique and highlights the sensitivity of the artist in front of his subject, the ultimate goal being to render his vision and to transcribe “the atmosphere” for the Impressionists.
A work of art is above all decorative and must remain so, which is why “love at first sight” is one of the most important elements in the choice made.
In my quest of presenting a welcoming interior, I could not exclude proposing all those pieces that warm, personalize and bring refinement to an interior.
Among them, Bronzes, finely chiseled, gilded or patinated… Signed or not, these works testify to the immense talent of the artists of the 18th and 19th century.
Because of their elegance and their history, these antique pieces can find their place in our interiors, as candleholders, cassolettes, potpourri, sculptures, or many other forms.
I could not forget Terracotta, carved wood, and all the other elements of decoration, whose passed history, refinement, and presence, I am delighted to outline for your pleasure.
I chose the collections presented here with the firm belief that I would be thrilled to have them decorate my own home, and hence felt comfortable they would, one day, find the perfect owner and make them smile.
