Félix founded the gallery in 1969 and was joined by Félix Junior three years ago. The space gathers together a panel of artists and of major works for the art deco : furniture by André Arbus, Eugène Printz, Jules Leleu, Jacques Adnet and Marcel Coard, the sculptures of Joseph Csaky, Jean-Lambert Rucki, or Gustave Miklos, enamel pieces by Jean Dunand, but also the Orientalist paintings of Jacques Majorelle and the animal drawings of Paul Jouve.

The story of Rubelli has been linked to the world of Art for 170 years. This Venitian creator decorated world-famous theatres as the Fenice and museums : the Albertine of Vienna, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and castles or private houses all over Europe, but also the décors and the costumes of the greatest operas, which has been the passion of this family for five generations. Damask, velvet, silk … here we do not talk of decoration but more of décor.

Annabel Winship presents trendy flat-heeled shoes which are comfortable, a clever mixture of English eccentricity and Parisian elegance. We love her famous Union Jack flat-heeled shoes or her boots decorated with metallic stars, but also her babies and her derbys, always easy to wear to run from an appointment to another.
Every product is made with a mix of high-quality and concentrated ingredients : essences of plants very much sought-after (tea tree, bitter orange, tangerine, coriander, geranium) with delicate and refined perfumes. There are no animal ingredients and the synthetic preservatives are reduced to the minimum and are replaced by vegetable products. We also like the way products are presented : in simple and opaque bottles, in order to preserve them from ultraviolet rays and to preserve their integrity.
Everything started with Pierre-François Lubin, who created his Maison de Parfumerie (Perfume shop) in 1798, to give to “Incroyables” (the Incredible Dandies) and to “Merveilleuses” (the fine ladies) (our ancestors!) perfumed ribbons, masks for balls and face powder, but most of all, his famous “eau vivifiante”(invigorating-bracing water) which became “L’Eau de Lubin” (Lubin’s Water). Lubin’s fame reached empress Joséphine and Pauline Bonaparte, and he became their favorite before becoming the one of Marie Hélène de Bourbon and of all European sovereigns. One century later, in the Roaring twenties, a new perfume is created every year. The Art Deco perfume bottles are designed by Julien Viard and Maurice Depinoix and the luxurious editions are made of Baccarat Crystal.
Lubin’s perfumes are the symbol of French elegance, particularly in the United-States, and until 1975 success has continued before the brand felt into oblivion with the massive appearance on the market of perfumes made by top fashion designers. In 1999, Gilles Thévenin, director of creation at Guerlain at that time, decides to give a new life to Lubin, which still represents to him the quintessence of French luxury. It is a titanic project but, fortunately, he has a great part of the 450 scents created by the brand and he decides, with Olivia Giacobetti’s help (one of the famous noses of French perfumery, remember En Passant at Frédéric Malle) to put some of them back on the market, alternating with the creations of new fragrances.
Georges-Philippe and Nathalie Vallois were the first ones to dedicate personal exhibitions to Alain Bublex, Gilles Barbier or Paul MacCarthy in France and they are now on display all around the world.

Dinh Van has become a must since the late 1990s when he created the bracelet on a cordon which is now his signature, and has been copied hundred times. Dinh Van succeeded in breaking with the sometimes conventional style of the traditional jewelry, by creating new shapes or by appropriating symbols as the target, the Chinese Pi or even handcuffs, which became the talismans of the ones who wear them : men, women and children.
