After graduating from the École du Louvre, followed by studies in Art History and Archaeology at the Sorbonne, I founded an art gallery in 2008 in the prestigious Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, showcasing archaeological works. For over 15 years, I have presented exceptional pieces that have enabled me to take part in major national and international fairs such as BRAFA, the Biennale des Antiquaires, and TEFAF Maastricht. Following a period at the National Institute of Gemmology, where I studied precious and semi-precious stones, as well as at the Saumur Jewelry Institute, I further strengthened my knowledge of the materials and stones used in the creation of the archaeological works I appraise.
Although the gallery remains a place where collectors and enthusiasts encounter unique works, it became clear to me that expertise services could also appeal to a growing number of owners wishing to learn more about and enhance the value of their heritage.
