Auction in association with François de Ricqlès Conseil.

Few collectors shaped their world with the discernment, curiosity and conviction of Michel Périnet and Françoise Cailles. Over the course of more than fifty years, the couple assembled one of the most distinctive private collections of twentieth-century art, design and jewellery. Guided by an unerring eye, intellectual rigour and an enduring fascination with beauty in all its forms, they brought together masterpieces of Surrealism, important Art Deco furniture, exceptional jewellery and works distinguished by some of the most illustrious provenances in collecting history. Remarkable in both its refinement and coherence, the collection reflects a lifelong pursuit of beauty, rarity, and artistic excellence.
