I opened my first gallery of antique books and engravings in 1973. Nice, situated on the Côte d'Azur in France, is one of the foremost places in Europe for everything that is concerned with art: throughout history, the greatest painters and decorative artists have come to work in Provence. Therefore, you'll find original lithographs from Chagall, Picasso, Matisse and Dubuffet in the section entitled “Modern Prints.”

I now have three galleries and am an expert in everything related to Nice's art auction scene. Due to my reputation and experience in the market, I'm often contacted by insurance companies and lawyers to help appraise pieces left in an estate or assess losses resulting from a disaster.

Engravings, drawings, lithographs, and all types of images, old and new, appeal to me not only because of their intrinsic graphic value, but also for the slice of history that they present. An original, though hardly costing more than a copy, is a truly unique work." It embodies a dream and has the undeniable advantage of being a sound investment.

For 10 years, I have participated in prestigious fairs, not only in France, but also in Italy and the United States. Ioana and myself currently spend six months every year in the U.S. for the Décor Expos in New York, Atlanta, and Las Vegas, the Art Expos and the various Stella shows. Because of this, we are well acquainted with American culture and the nature of the demand in the US. Our clients in these prestigious venues are interior decorators, framers, gallery owners, florists, in short, any type of professional interested in the integration of engravings, antique or contemporary, drawings, and the finest art, into their clients' interior spaces. This site offers you a permanent exposition of our fine pieces.

I have worked with Michel for 15 years and remained passionate about decorating. Engravings offer an infinite array of perspectives in terms of material for decoration. These graphical objects, enhanced by the decorative frame that suits your style, bring touches of reverie and history to any space along with the indisputable quality of their design. Furthermore, you can possess an authentic original with all of its historical value, a claim which we can certify and document.

As per your request, I can provide you with the sketch, watercolor, or etching that will become one of the unique pieces in your client\s collection, creating the style that only original pieces with their unique history can offer. My broad decorating experience not only helps in guiding you during the selection of your piece, but also in its framing, presentation and placement. My deep knowledge of different mediums, antique and modern engravings, sketches of jewelry and fashion, lithographs, manuscripts and woodcuts, to name only a few, means that I am especially well qualified to highlight and emphasize each piece's inherent value.

This site is organized to help you find what you're looking for. For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
