Galerie Marcilhac was founded in 1969 by Félix Marcilhac Sr.. It has been ever since recognized as one of oldest Parisian galleries devoted exclusively to 20th century French decorative arts. As a passionate and inveterate collector, Félix Marcilhac Sr. became an internationally renowned specialist and an undisputed figure in the Parisian art market. He revealed his vision of work as follows: "When I covet an object, nothing else exists but the reality of my desire, the object and me.". This intimate triptych guided him in the writing of several catalogues raisonnés devoted to glassmakers René Lalique and Maurice Marinot, sculptors Joseph Csaky, Gustav Miklos, Edouard-Marcel Sandoz and Chana Orloff, orientalist painter Jacques Majorelle and Paul Jouve, not forgetting the plural work of Jean Dunand. Not to mention furniture makers, since he dedicated writings to André Domin and Marcel Genevrière - founders of the Maison Dominique - and to André Groult, a singular artist renowned for his furniture in shagreen. Marcilhac Sr.'s researches made him a specialist of Art Nouveau and one of the major players in the discovery of Art Deco. As the father of four, he passed on his passion to his son, Félix Marcilhac Jr., whom he introduced to the profession of dealer at an early age and warned: "An object cannot be inherited, it must be earned". Félix Jr. therefore gained experience and joined him in 2005 as gallery director. He developed the gallery's activities and propelled it to the forefront of the international scene by offering it a choice position in the art market. With its long history and reputation, Galerie Marcilhac continues to confirm its role; it initiates neophyte collectors and satisfies the most experienced ones, inspires decorators and collaborates with museums by offering them singular and unique works since its creation and for many years to come.
