French sculpture appraiser

 

The history of the collection dates back to Elie Fabius, who has a prestigious gallery in Paris in 1882. Passionate about Napoleon and Lafayette, historical memories and sculptures by Carpeaux and Barye, Fabius put the nineteenth century style in fashion. The work of Elie Fabius was continued by the first of his son and then by his grandson, son Francis, brother of Laurent who died in 2006.
