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...
