Catalogue Note
Mathieu Planchon fut apprenti chez son père Edouard. Il fut apprenti auprès de Robert-Houdin en 1868 puis de Philippe, quai des Morfondus, dont il acquit les fonds en 1870. Il établit son atelier rue Vieille du Temple en 1880, puis au Palais Royal, galerie Montpensier en 1890. Fortement influencé par Viollet le Duc, il sut créer son propre style connu sous le nom "le style planchon".
