Russian art

In just a few decades, after the visit of the Peter the Great and the Grand Embassy in Europe, Russian art became front row in Western culture. The visit to Versailles of the Russian sovereign in 1717 also inaugurated three centuries of highly productive exchanges and reciprocal fascination between Russia and France, along with somewhat tumultuous relations, such as the Napoleonian wars, or close reconciliations, such as during the eras of Alexandre III, or at the beginning of the 2Oth century with the ballets of Diaghilev.

World-renown for its auction sales of historical souvenirs, particularly linked to the Napoleonian period, the Osenat House has opened a department dedicated to Russian Art. Three sales will be organized each year. They will highlight all the periods of Russian art (old Russia, the Royal family, the Revolution, White Russia …) in a wide array of forms (silversmith piece, major works of art, rare books, autographs by leading writers...)
