Félix Marcilhac library In the Paris scene, Félix Marcilhac needs no introduction. A celebrated expert and gallery owner, he is considered one of the top specialists of the new Art Deco period, if not the very finest: a reputation shored up by his colossal publishing achievements, which include books on Jacques Majorelle, Chana Orloff, Jean Dunand, André Groult, Paul Jouve and René Lalique. His name, familiar far beyond the borders of France, will now be associated with one of the largest dispersions ever (joining Nourhan Manoukian's of 1993 and Jean Bloch's of 1999): on 5 December, it will feature not as that of an "expert", but on the front cover of a sale catalogue, as he is now selling his Art Deco book collection. This is a major event for the speciality. It took him forty years to build up the collection, which focuses on the decade between 1925 and 1935. This period marked a minor revolution in the approach to the illustrated book in terms of not only typography and decoration but also the lavish materials employed. François- Louis Schmied was the leader of the new aesthetic, USEFUL INFO Where ? Paris-<strong>Drouot</strong> When ? 5 december Who ? Binoche & Giquello auction house.

The collection also celebrates the group formed by Schmied, Dunand, Goulden and Jouve, creators of the most splendid volumes of the period, like the "Cantique des Cantique" decorated by Schmied, with a binding in lacquer on ebonite by Jean Dunand (€50,000). Marcilhac collected eight other copies of the work, one embellished with a binding by Pierre Legrain. One of the finest pieces is "Les Chansons de Bilitis" by Pierre Louÿs, an edition designed by George Barbier with a magnificent lacquered calfskin binding by Jean Dunand (€80,000). Others include Alfred de Vigny's "Daphné" illustrated by Schmied (€40,000) and "À rebours" by Huysmans, a masterpiece by Auguste Lepère, with a rich abstract binding by Pierre Legrain (€40,000) – unique in the artist's work, as we learn from the catalogue.
