## About

Dorian Caffot de Fawes is a French antiques dealer based in London. Born in Paris and raised in the Basque Country, he set up his own business in 2015 and now runs his gallery in Marylebone's Church Street antiques district. He also owns a second gallery in the centre of Mahón, Menorca, run with his sister Ysolde.

The stock focuses on the 20th century, an era he considers a turning point in the history of design: Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Swedish Grace, Art Deco, Modernism, Vienna Secession, Brutalism, mid-century modern. Pieces are selected for their decorative qualities, craftsmanship and fair value, and are sold to private collectors and interior designers in the UK and internationally.

Dorian travels through Europe year-round, mainly France, Italy, Spain and Sweden, to source the inventory. Every piece is restored, rewired or reupholstered before being offered. Lucas, the gallery manager, runs day-to-day operations.

The gallery exhibits three times a year at The Decorative Fair, Battersea Park, London, and organises temporary exhibitions of artists and designers at the gallery.
