Galerie OSCAR GRAF
An antique dealer grandmother, a decorator father, art history studies, Oscar Graf, despite his young age, has the job under his skin. But he chose to focus on a very particular period: the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in Europe and the United States, which his father François-Joseph was one of the first to defend. Like him, Oscar is fond of this Japanese movement which operated in Western Europe from 1868, when the Japanese ports opened up to the world. This current at the origin of many styles was interpreted very differently according to countries and fashions. From the almost contemporary forms of Godwin to the ceramics of Carriès, passing by Edouard Lièvre and the Herter Brothers, the decorative arts were cradled for almost thirty years by this Far Eastern culture which very often appeared as a new world.

Galerie CHEVALIER & PARSUA
In 2001, Dominique Chevalier, an antiques dealer, decided with an Iranian friend to initiate the renaissance of the carpet, to create the antiques of tomorrow. So began a series of trips to Iran to find motivated artisans capable of reviving ancient techniques, then forgotten. Since then, Parsua has offered Persian rugs made as in the 17th and 18th centuries, with hand-spun wool, exclusively natural dyes, knotting done by expert hands, and a patina in water and in the sun. Beyond this eco-responsible approach, Parsua also responds to an often difficult request: finding beautiful old Oriental rugs in precise dimensions and colors.
