Founded in 1972 by François Léage, Galerie Léage is today among the leading galleries specializing in 18th-century furniture and works of art. It presents a selection of exceptional pieces from the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI, chosen for the quality of their craftsmanship, the originality of their design, and their distinguished provenance.
Over the years, the gallery has earned the trust of curators, collectors, and interior designers worldwide. Many of its works have entered major institutions, from the Château de Versailles and the Musée du Louvre to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum, affirming its role in enriching international cultural heritage.
Committed to a dynamic vision of the 18th century, the gallery also embraces modern and contemporary creation, bringing periods into dialogue with subtlety and discernment through carefully curated events. Deeply attached to the transmission of craftsmanship, it regularly collaborates with leading maisons such as Prelle, Féau Boiseries, de Gournay, and Atelier d’Offard. Together, they uphold a culture of the hand, gesture, and material.
After more than forty years of participation in the Biennale des Antiquaires, Galerie Léage continues to exhibit at major international art fairs, including TEFAF Maastricht, Fine Arts Paris – La Biennale, The Winter Show in New York, and Frieze Masters London.
Guillaume Léage
Guillaume Léage has led the gallery for more then a decade. He brings a rigorous and distinctly contemporary perspective to the 18th century and its master craftsmen, while further strengthening the gallery’s international presence.
His commitment extends beyond the gallery. As Vice President of the Syndicat des Négociants en Art (SNA), he actively contributes to the representation and structuring of the art market. He also serves on the organizing committee of Fine Arts Paris – La Biennale, supporting its development and international reach. Deeply engaged with institutions, he supports public collections as a benefactor member of several Friends societies, including those of the Musée du Louvre, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and the Château de Versailles.
