Théodore Deck, the ceramist born in Guebwiller (Alsace) in the XIXth century, founded an internationally known Parisian workshop and directed the Manufacture de Sèvres. A selection of his great work is available at Bertrand Klein’s boutique; vases, planters, large dishes and polychrome celadon green or yellow gold trinkets adorned with flowers, birds and butterflies, or covered with the famous “Bleu Deck”. These items are exposed in the most prestigious museums on the planet such as the Metropolitan Museum in New-York City, Victoria-Albert Museum in London, Arts Décoratifs in Paris but also in Berlin and Munich. A delightful museum in Guebwiller, Théodore Deck’s hometown, offers to discover Deck’s story, his manufacture, his researches and some 500 devices.

Design is another Pascale and Bertrand Klein’s specialty. The 1930s creators’ work, composed of engraved and sandblasted glass, shagreen, Macassar ebony, Rio rosewood, nickel plated steel, polished or satin aluminum, was a wave of creativity.
This modernism was repeated in the 1950s until being amplified in the 1980s with an explosion of creations. Many rare items such as commode signed by Majorelle or Leleu, Raphael or Ron Arad can harmoniously match with a XVIIth wardrobe.
