Coming from a family of collectors, the Delalande team has been active in the art market since the opening of its first gallery at the Louvre des Antiquaires in Paris 48 years ago, dedicated to maritime objects and scientific instruments. Over time, the gallery has also specialized in collectible walking sticks, tobacco-related objects, opium-related items, and curiosities.

We have organized numerous thematic exhibitions around our different areas of expertise (“La Fleur du Mal,” “Mémoires d’Opium,” “Cadrans solaires,” and “Sabliers d’autrefois”) and published books that are now considered international references.

Éric and Anna Delalande remain highly engaged with collectors and museums around the world, whom they meet every year in March at TEFAF Maastricht, as well as in their two galleries located in Carré Rive Gauche in Paris.
