Shanxi. One region. A thousand stories. And perhaps the piece that will change your interior.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a single piece<\/strong> is enough to transform a maison<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Une grande armoire rouge<\/strong>, aux laques profondes<\/strong> ou aux brilliant polychromy<\/strong>that catches the eye at once. A patinated elm sideboard buffet en orme<\/strong> sideboard that has crossed the centuries with quiet elegance. An offering cabinet cabinet d\u2019offrandes<\/strong> delicate gilding that intrigues as much as it fascinates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ces meubles<\/strong> These pieces of furniture are not mere decorative objects. They are true living tableaux vivants<\/strong>living pictures, whose colours and reliefs change with the light. Each hour of the day reveals a different nuance, a new emotion. They carry \u00e9motion<\/strong> new. They carry within them stories of familles<\/strong>, de mariages<\/strong>, de voyages<\/strong>, de prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9<\/strong> et de transmission<\/strong>transmission. They once furnished the houses of China's great merchants marchands chinois<\/strong> avant d\u2019entreprendre un incroyable voyage jusqu\u2019en Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bienvenue dans l\u2019univers du Shanxi<\/strong>of Shanxi, one of China's most prestigious provinces China<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centuries this region was the economic heart of the Empire. Its powerful merchants marchands<\/strong> powerful merchants built palaces, developed the first Chinese banks banques chinoises<\/strong> and commissioned a mobilier<\/strong> furniture of exceptional quality, designed to last for generations. To this day their residences bear witness to a way of living in which every piece meuble<\/strong> every piece was conceived as a symbol of success, r\u00e9ussite<\/strong>, de raffinement<\/strong> et de p\u00e9rennit\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019est cette \u00e9motion<\/strong> emotion that we wished to gather at Galerie Galerie 55<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stepping through the doors of our galerie<\/strong>, at the heart of March\u00e9 Biron<\/strong>the March\u00e9 Biron, you do not merely discover a collection of mobilier ancien<\/strong>antique furniture. You enter a dialogue between EastOrient<\/strong> et l\u2019Occident<\/strong>, entre le 19th century<\/strong> et les contemporary interiors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaque armoire<\/strong>, chaque ancien grain chest<\/strong> ou coffre de mariage<\/strong>, chaque table d\u2019autel<\/strong>, chaque buffet en orme<\/strong> sideboard has been chosen for its personality, its authenticity<\/strong> authenticity and its ability to converse with today's architecture. Above all, each of these pieces meubles<\/strong> a une histoire<\/strong> \u00e0 raconter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that is the paradox of these pieces: they pieces<\/strong> : elles ont parfois plus de cent cinquante ans<\/strong>fifty years old\u2026 and yet they seem to have been created for our contemporary contemporary interiors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A white wall reveals the full depth of a patinated patinated red lacquer<\/strong>lacquer. A linen sofa underlines the strength of a wedding coffre de mariage<\/strong>chest. A minimalist light fitting sets off the lines of an antique cabinet ancien<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is never static.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est vivant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a time when mobilier<\/strong> furniture is often standardised, mass-produced and then replaced a few years later, choosing a piece from Shanxi Shanxi piece<\/strong>is to do exactly the opposite. It is to welcome into one's home a piece that meuble<\/strong> that has already crossed several generations and that will, no doubt, accompany those to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also to acquire a true functional \u0153uvre d\u2019art fonctionnelle<\/strong>art, shaped by hand, assembled without a single nail, made in solid elm orme massif<\/strong> elm and covered with multiple layers of lacquer laque<\/strong> lacquer applied with infinite patience by artisans artisans<\/strong> dont le savoir-faire<\/strong> has been passed down for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And above all, it is to choose an absolutely choose an absolutely unique piece.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depuis l\u2019interdiction de l\u2019exportation du mobilier ancien chinois<\/strong>, ces tr\u00e9sors<\/strong> treasures grow rarer every year. The great European European collections<\/strong> collections are gradually dwindling, making each acquisition a true heritage piece patrimoine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Galerie 55<\/strong>Galerie 55, we take the time to tell the storyhistoire<\/strong> de chacune de nos pieces<\/strong>. Leur provenance<\/strong>, leurs symboles<\/strong>, leur restauration<\/strong> their restoration when it was needed, and also the way they can find their place naturally in your interior interior<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parce qu\u2019un meuble ancien<\/strong> antique piece is not bought with the eyes alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il se d\u00e9couvre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il se touche<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
