The scents of the Dyptique Candles have become indispensable, but there are other candles which are in harmony with them to give places we love a genuine character. Cire Trudon, a Royal Manufacture with an ancestral knowledge, which is the oldest candle factory in the world (1643) created them ! Here the perfumes are not identifiable at first “smell” but there are unique mixes which all reinterprete a moment of history and bring the legend of French taste to light : Empire, Pondichéry, La Marquise, Chandernagor, Odeur de Lune, Odalisque or Carmelite, Empire, Dada…
After the Puces de SaintOuen, Guilhem Faget and Alexandra Goult have arrived in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the other design hot spot !

You can also spot their favourite artist Claude Morin’s glass creations scattered across the shop.

Eric Philippe particularly likes Scandinavian design but he favors pieces and designers that are rare on the market, so his selection is always exceptional. He exhibits both artistic movements, architects, designers but also sometimes presents collections of objects that he brings together, forming a real aesthetic bias.

The gallery specializes in ritual works from Africa. Whether it be sculptures from West Africa, such as the large Tyiwara crests of the Malian Bambara ethnic group, the “classics” Fang or Punu of Gabonese art, or even the statuary with magical or prophylactic virtues of the tribes Teke, Luba and Kusu from Congo.
For Lucas Ratton, the passion for African art is a family heritage. His grandfather Maurice Ratton, and his great-uncle Charles Ratton, were both gallery owners of Arts Premiers, Maurice in Saint Germain des Prés, Charles in his famous apartment rue de Marignan. Great friends of the avant-garde artists of the 1920s, they were both at the origin of an appreciation of an art that had been underestimated until then.

A pioneer in the rediscovery of Art Deco, the Anne-Sophie Duval gallery is one of the must-see places for collectors of furniture and applied arts. The gallery has represented for forty years the work of the most remarkable creators of the early 20th century: Jean Dunand, Pierre Chareau, Jean-Michel Frank, Armand-Albert Rateau, André Groult or Eileen Gray, but also the creators of the Bauhaus, or the female ceramists of the 1950s.
A researcher of emblematic pieces but also a scout of young talents, Carole Decombe presents both Scandinavian design from the 40s to the 70s, Hans-Agne Jakobsson, Kerstin Hörlin Holmquist or Grete Jalk, as well as contemporary designers such as Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert, Isabelle Sicart, Mydriaz, Mauro Mauri or Nicolas and Sébastien Reese.
Ceramics, lighting, furniture, each exhibition is a surprise since it passes from one era to another, exercising our eye on the history of design as well as contemporary creation.
Jean-Jacques Dutko is a multi-faceted antique dealer-gallerist, passionate about many universes. Around the furniture of Jacques-Emile Ruhlman or Eugène Printz, he stages contemporary designers but also primitive art, painting and sculpture, universes that intersect in complete harmony.
