About
Founded in 2013, Reflets des Arts specializes in Japanese antiques, with a particular focus on lacquerware and netsuke.
Poetic in nature, these works have traveled through the centuries, passing from one collection to another, enriched by use and by the appreciation of those who have taken pleasure in owning them.
The gallery also presents woodblock prints, art objects, bronzes, and other works related to Japanese art and culture.
Specializing in the Arts of Japan, the gallery offers a curated selection of antiques from the Edo period (1603–1868), including lacquerware, netsuke, woodblock prints, and bronzes.
