About
Founded in 1950 by Jean Wanecq, our gallery specializes in 18th-century furniture and art objects. Built on expertise passed down with passion, it is now directed by his wife, Gertraud Wanecq, alongside Armelle Deschamps. Together, they uphold the standards of authenticity, quality, and elegance that have made the gallery renowned.
At the heart of the gallery, we celebrate the excellence and refinement of 18th-century French decorative arts, a period marked by a rare balance between craftsmanship virtuosity and aesthetic innovation. Each piece we present embodies the spirit of a century in which furniture and art objects went beyond mere function to become true works of expression.
Our selection brings together furniture and objects chosen with the highest standards, bearing witness to the exceptional craftsmanship of the master cabinetmakers, joiners, and artisans of the period. From the rigor and strength of the Louis XIV and Regency periods to the elegance of Louis XV, and the neoclassical refinement of Louis XVI, each creation illustrates an evolution in taste and techniques.
We place particular importance on the authenticity, provenance, and condition of each work. Our pieces are selected not only for their historical value, but also for their ability to engage in dialogue with contemporary interiors, bringing character, warmth, and uniqueness.
Our gallery serves both seasoned collectors and discerning enthusiasts, interior architects, and lovers of art history. We support each of our clients with a personalized approach based on listening, guidance, and the sharing of our passion.
More than an exhibition space, our gallery is a place of encounter between past and present, where the elegance of the 18th century continues to inspire and enrich today’s perspectives.
