Etui, Miniatures, Necessaire, Paintings, Religious relics, Tapestry, Textiles, Silver
tableware, Vernis Martin boxes & Billet doux, Objects de Vertu and more.

Charlotte’s view of Eglise Sainte
Sulpice from her Parisian apartment salon window has inspired her quest for rare
and curious religious relics found in churches throughout France. Especially
interesting were those pieces found in the Capelle Privee or private churches
of the larger Chateaux. Charlottes extensive collection now includes well more
than 500 religious relics from the 16th century up to the revolution.
Charlotte's collection includes Alter panels, Armorial bindings, Objects of
art, Ornamentation, Paintings, Reliquary, Sacred hearts, Santos crowns,
Tabernacle doors, Textiles and more.

Luc has been a vivacious collector within
the narrow field of rare books. Amassed over twenty-five years, the collection
spans the period just before the French revolution, back to the incunable’s of
the 15th century and after the Guttenberg Bible. The collection
includes precious bindings that are true works of art to its focus on rare and
precious Armorial bindings from the Noblesse, the Royal Court and beyond.
