What has your career path been?
From the age of 7, I went around fairs and salons with my parents and bought and sold antique objects. I have always kept that taste, and after studies in business and accounting and then a two-year undergraduate diploma in art history at the Sorbonne, I completed two years of the Bachelor in Art Expertise and Trade, furniture track.
After that, I teamed up with Edouard Demachy to open a stand in the spring of 2006 at the Marché Paul Bert at the Puces de Saint-Ouen. It was a real place of learning for us. We were able to sharpen both our eye and our taste.
What is your current activity?
Today, we are continuing our rise in the heart of the Carré Rive Gauche, since we have opened the Galerie D-Room at 29 rue de Lille in the 7th arrondissement. The gallery is dedicated to the European Arts and Crafts movements and to 20th-century decorative arts. We are quite proud to be the two youngest antique dealers in Paris setting up on rue de Lille. We took part in the 11th Pavillon des arts et du design at the Tuileries, and we are preparing for the traditional annual evening of the Carré Rive Gauche, l’objet d’exception, whose opening will take place on May 31, 2007.
What does IESA arts&culture mean to you?
For me, IESA is a school that gives students the chance to enter the art market directly, even when young, and to start working in it. This school knows how to connect students with the key players in art and thus gives them the means to find their direction.
This school is a real asset, recognized in the job market by museums, foundations, galleries…
Students who know how to make good use of this foundation will one day, with time, recognize that their time at IESA was beneficial to them.
