Founded in 1969 8 rue Bonaparte, 75006 Paris 120 RUE DU FAUBOURG-SAINT-HONORÉ, 75008, PARIS PRESENTATION Located in the very heart of Paris, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Galerie Marcilhac exhibits the works of the most emblematic decorators and designers of the Art Déco period. Jean Dunand, Pierre Chareau, Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Raymond Subes, Edgar Brandt, Marc du Plantier, Jean-Michel Frank, Jacques Adnet, Eugène Printz, Pierre-Emile Legrain, Louis Süe and André Mare: all the greatest figures who took part with strength and talent in what had been called the "Art Déco style" are represented. Each historical piece testifies to the exigency of luxury and reflects the craftsmanship inherited from past centuries as well as the innovative spirit of the inter-war period. The combination of rare woods and precious materials and the interest in Far Eastern techniques, such as the lacquer art or copper work, allows a high level of perfection to be achieved. Largely influenced by Cubism, this predilection for geometric forms not only gives these works style and elegance but also enables them to take their place with refinement in today's interiors. Committed to promote and preserve 20th century decorative arts, Félix Marcilhac Jr. has regularly set up retrospective exhibitions. He thus paid tribute to decorator Marcel Coard in 2012, glassmaker Maurice Marinot and lacquerer Gaston Suisse in 2013, sculptor Chana Orloff in 2016 and animal painter Paul Jouve in 2017.…
