Each object tells a story. That of the world, that of men and nature. Our pieces hide many mysteries...
Our materials are authentic and made from noble materials. Works of art or object of the past, our pieces are united by one ambition: uncompromising quality.
Coming from the animal, vegetable and mineral world, our pieces are the subject of informed and responsible research. Some pieces may be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which guarantees their origin or their traceability, such as a CITES document for example for protected species.
Some of our pieces may be unique or from small series. These objects are the result of a sharp selection and our stocks may be limited, so don't miss them...
