Our selections

To offer a unique work of art is to share the singularity of an artistic gesture. A piece that exists in only one example carries an immediate presence, a direct trace of creation. It is a rare gift, establishing a tangible link between the artist and the person who receives it.

Au Phare, à l'Obus, aux Deux Eléphants, au Globe Doré... These famous Jules Verne elaborately decorated cloths are the finest publisher's bindings of the 19th century. Discover the extraordinary journey of the Editions Hetzel.

An antique book stands out through its materiality, its journey, and its place in the history of the text. Bindings, provenances, original editions: all elements that make it a thoughtful, enduring gift for those attuned to the presence of works from the past.

Signed books, autograph letters and manuscripts by Victor Hugo, the greatest of french writers.

They are art and craft, the fruit of fleeting artistic inspiration and patient technical development. Engravings are multiple and yet unique, enhanced with colors, signed, numbered: an aesthetic testimony of an era, and timeless icons.

Printed in small numbers, illicitly passed out, sought-after, forgotten, found again, major works or confidential texts...  Some of these works are extremely rare today ; here are a few of them.
