English

Félix Marcilhac (1941–2020) was one of the first dealers in France to revive interest in Art Nouveau and Art Deco, opening his Paris gallery in 1969 and building a personal collection of furniture, glass and sculpture from the 1920s and 1930s. In March 2014, as he prepared to disperse that collection at a landmark Sotheby's Paris auction, interior photographer Jérôme Galland captured his apartment for AD Magazine, documenting decades of collecting just before the pieces went their separate ways.

Félix Marcilhac (1941-2020) fut l'un des premiers marchands, en France, à raviver l'intérêt pour l'Art nouveau et l'Art déco, ouvrant sa galerie parisienne en 1969 et réunissant une collection personnelle de mobilier, verreries et sculptures des années 1920 et 1930. En mars 2014, alors qu'il s'apprêtait à disperser cette collection lors d'une vente Sotheby's à Paris restée dans les mémoires, le photographe d'intérieur Jérôme Galland a saisi son appartement pour AD Magazine, documentant des décennies de collection juste avant leur dispersion.
