Antiquaires: The Finest Antiques Dealers in Paris by Jean-Louis Gaillemin,

Antiquaires: The Finest Antiques Dealers in Paris by Jean-Louis Gaillemin,
While London leads the marketplace for old masters and oriental works of art, and New York is regarded the center for contemporary art, for more than two centuries Paris has remained the world capital of the antiques market. Here, leading French expert on decorative arts Jean-Louis Gaillemin recounts the fascinating history of the Parisian antiques world: from the French Revolution, when dealers began selling the collections of the French monarchy to a predominantly English clientele, to the Restoration, when furniture and decorative arts of the Ancien Regime began to return to the chateaux; from the new enthusiasm for antiques which grew among the rapidly expanding bourgeoisie under the Second Empire (1852-70), to the arrival of the first Oriental experts towards the end of the century. We accompany the great American collectors, who began to flow into Paris in the 1890s, on their visits to the hotels particuliers of important dealers such as Wildenstein or Duveen, on the Place Vendome or near the Parc Monceau, and discover how, in the 20th century, African art was "launched" by the Cubists from 1910 onwards, and Pre-colombian and Oceanic art by the Surrealists in the 1920s. Taking us through the post-war trends of early 20th-century styles, right up to the present day trend of 1970s design, the author provides a tantalizing account of how, when and why, over the past two centuries, Paris attributed (or denied) certain antiques and antique dealers their popularity and reputation. Complementing this historical account, the book includes a practical guide which lists the addresses of Parisian dealers by district and specialty along with key museums. Luxurious, richly illustratedand informative, Antiquaires is an essential item for both amateur and professional antiques collectos, and all those taken by the irresistible allure of the world of antiques and the Parisian market in particular.
