la biennale des antiquaires
programming announced
At the invitation of the Biennale des Antiquaires,
The State Hermitage Museum, Le Mobilier National,
and the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie present
Three Special Exhibitions
Paris, June 3, 2016 – Henri Loyrette, President of the Biennale, and
Dominique Chevalier, President of the Syndicat des Antiquaires (SNA),
together with the Biennale Committee – comprised of five members
of the SNA council office and nine experts – are pleased to present
special programming for the 2016 Biennale des Antiquaires.
Comprised of two public collections – one of French prestige, the other
international – and the mobilization of larger luxury watch houses via
the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, the 2016 Biennale will offer three
exhibitions of distinct cultural and aesthetic experience. Greeted by a
spectacular scenography by Nathalie Crinière, collectors and visitors,
in addition to discovering the masterpieces, jewelry, and selected
objects on display, can also explore three unprecedented exhibitions in
the history of the Biennale from Le Mobilier National in France, Russia’s
State Hermitage Museum, and the Fondation de la Haute Hologerie in
Switzerland.

A Century of French Elegance:
Masterpieces of the Eighteenth Century
The State Hermitage Museum — St. Petersburg, Russia
On the occasion of the 2016 Biennale des Antiquaires, the State
Hermitage Museum will present 35 works – some on view for the first
time – in an installation of important Eighteenth century masterworks
from the institution’s renowned collection.
For centuries, France represented a certain model of art de vivre
for all of Europe and Russia; the Eighteenth century was profoundly
marked by this “French elegance”, found both in fashion and in
furniture.
Russian monarchs regularly visited Paris for the acquisition of
objects in porcelain, silver and bronze, and were offered exceptional
masterpieces as diplomatic gifts.
Thanks to the favorable relations enjoyed between France and
Russia, and particularly between Paris and St. Petersburg, the
Hermitage constitutes a unique collection of French decorative art.
About The State Hermitage Museum
Founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great, with over 60,000 works
of art on view in nearly 1,000 rooms and a permanent collection
consisting of more than 3 million objects, the State Hermitage
Museum is one of the largest – and oldest – museums in the world.
The immense diversity of its collections enables the Hermitage to
exhibit works from antiquity to the great masters of the Twentieth
century.

tradition and daring!
Le Mobilier national - Paris
Le Mobilier National will offer an exhibition tracing the evolution
of furniture over the course of the Twentieth Century. The period
undoubtedly heralded one of the greatest aesthetic upheavals and
presented radical changes in the evolution of form and function.
Le Mobilier National will present this history through iconic pieces,
representative of their time and their decade. If the pieces of the
beginning of the last century have already acquired the status of
cultural heritage, modern and contemporary works of the latter part of
the Twentieth century are clearly the antiques of tomorrow. This is the
thought underscoring the selection of works presented at the Biennale.
About Le Mobilier National
Heir to the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne and founded in 1662, Le
Mobilier National provides the furnishing of the official palaces of the
Republic of France and the various presidential residences.
Reserved for institutions that serve the French national interest,
these deposits are limited to reception pieces, after consideration of
application by the Control Committee of Le Mobilier National.
The Elysée Palace, Hôtel Matignon, various France embassies abroad,
and reception spaces for international summits outside of Paris, are all
places that are furnished largely owing to the collections of Le Mobilier
National. These arrangements are intended to enhance the prestige of
France and its major institutions.
At the core of the Mobilier National’s mission is the safeguarding and
development of its collections. At present the institution maintains and
repairs approximately 80,000 furniture and textile objects, including
tapestries and carpets.

The Conquest of Time:
The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie – Geneva, Switzerland
The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) will stage, for the first
time at the Biennale, a thematic exhibition illustrating the history of
watchmaking and tracing the measurement of the origins of time.
Titled “The Conquest of Time,” the exhibition is inspired by the historian
Dominique Fléchon’s eponymous book – published by the FHH in
collaboration with Groupe Flammarion. A hundred of artifacts and
historic watchmaking objects come together to demonstrate the
ingenuity man has shown throughout the centuries, in order to master
its temporal environment.
The exhibition was conceived as an initial journey made up of six
sections, immersing visitors in the heart of these great moments in the
relentless pursuit of the mastery of time.
Visitors will discover the different stages of development that have made
watchmaking one of the finest achievements of humankind and, jointly,
a way to develop the fine craft around it.
The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie
The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) was founded in Geneva
in 2005 by three founders: the Richemont Group, Audemars Piguet,
and Girard-Perregaux, to promote fine watchmaking worldwide. The
legitimacy of technical and precious fine watchmaking is based on
expertise and innovation.
Creativity, culture, and tradition are the core values that give life to the
Foundation and that radiate through its actions. The FHH develops its
activities around the world with partner brands.
The mission of Foundation de la Haute Horlogerie is three-fold in its
principles: information, training, and functioning as a Think Tank.
