Classical Art

Classical taste, often wrongly associated with a mere preference for the old, is experiencing a certain decline today. Yet, far from being stuck in the past, it embodies the living heritage of the models passed down from Ancient Greece and the Italian Renaissance, thus perpetuating the vernacular aesthetics of Europe. Without being in opposition to modernist and progressive movements, and although everyone has their own conception of it, for Maison Alexandre Landre, this taste holds a timeless character.

It is distinguished by the use of natural and precious materials (alabaster, porcelain, bronzes), rare stones, as well as the continuous adaptation of classical forms.

This taste, both homogeneous and varied, suffers today from a relative lack of interest in the market. Thus, its monetary value tends to be well below its true artistic and historical worth. For a pair of Louis XV armchairs, a 17th-century portrait, or a spectacular Napoleon III commode, it seems necessary to restore this style to the place it deserves.

This is why Alexandre Landre has decided to create a quarterly event, an auction specially designed to allow collectors to immerse themselves in the world of great classical taste.

Our house offers its expertise graciously and promptly to meet the expectations of our clients.
