THE ANTIQUITIES BIENNALE 2016

The Biennale of Antiques It will take place on September 10th next year. A major artistic event, this 28th edition will mark a renewal with the return of a large number of antique dealers.

124 exhibitors will offer their treasures, works of art, historical objects and jewelry. This Biennale will also offer a cultural and aesthetic experience, as two prestigious public collections, one French and the other international, will be presented, as well as the participation of the Foundation of Haute Horlogerie.

On the one hand, the Russian Museum of the Hermitage is partnering with Biennale To exhibit 35 works from his collection from the 18th century. A model of the art of living, 18th-century France was an example for all of Europe and Russia. The French elegance captivated the Russian monarchs, who were great collectors of French works, and who, thanks to the ties between Paris and Saint Petersburg, enabled the Hermitage Museum to build up a unique collection.

The second prestigious collection, that of Mobilier National, heir to the Guard-Meuble de la Couronne, which provides the furnishings for presidential residences, assemblies, state bodies, ministries and embassies. Its mission is to enhance the heritage. During this Biennale, 16 works will be exhibited that, from 1943 to 2016, will show a transformation in the form and use of furniture, as well as the aesthetic upheavals that marked their era.

This time that passes and leaves a history will also be highlighted by the Haute Horlogerie Foundation, which will present an exhibition on the measurement of time from its origins to the present day.

Rarity and splendor will be present in this masterful showcase, the Grand Palais, illuminated by the scenography of Nathalie Crinière. A love of Art and Beauty that does not forget jewelry.

A new chapter of the Biennale to be discovered on September 10, 2016.
