Founded in 1972 and led by Guillaume Léage, Galerie Léage has earned the trust of decorators, curators and collectors worldwide through its expertise in eighteenth-century furniture and works of art, from the reigns of Louis XIV to Louis XVI.
Many of its pieces have entered the foremost institutions, from Versailles to the Louvre, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the J. Paul Getty Museum.
Committed to preserving traditional craftsmanship, the gallery regularly collaborates with esteemed houses such as Prelle, Féau Boiseries, de Gournay and Atelier d’Offard.
After more than forty years of participation in the Biennale des Antiquaires, it is today present at the leading international fairs, including TEFAF Maastricht, Fine Arts Paris, The Winter Show in New York and Frieze Masters London.
