Cabinetmarker since 1988 and antique dealer since 1997, I discovered a talent for finding large pieces of French antiques from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. I clean them and restore them with passion in my worshop located near Angers where I work with quality materials : marquetry, noble Woods… My thirty six years of experience and execptional craftmanship have contributed to my reputation in the great West (where I am présent at antique fairs) but also à abroad. My passion for my profesion, my know-how, my love for antiques, I passed them on to young apprentices so that my profession continues. Let me spark your curiosity by browsing my gallery and exploring my antique collection.
I’ll tell you a story…
10h opening of my first antique fair in Tours on the edge of the Loire Valley. A lady arrives on my stand. She is interested in an old manual coffee mill. She does not speak French, I do not speak English. She stays on the stand for a long time. By gestures, I make her understand that I am giving her the coveted object. She leaves with it under her arm. 15 minutes later, she comes back with her husband and her interpreter. The husband buys me the whole stand.
For 10 years, we worked hand in hand, with confidence. I bought, I restored, I organized the containers. My antiques were sold in New York and elsewhere…
Thank you Wilma, thank you Henry
