From 15 to 19 September 2026, we will be participating in the 19th Parcours de la Céramique et des Arts du Feu in Paris.
During this week, 18 renowned art and antiques dealers in the Carré Rive Gauche and at other locations throughout Paris will present ceramic works from different periods and cultures – from Europe to East Asia, from historical to contemporary works.
At the invitation of Maison Vandermeersch, we will present a selection of 18th-century porcelain at 21 Quai Voltaire.
The joint exhibition reflects a relationship that has grown over generations. Founded in 1880, Maison Vandermeersch is one of France’s leading specialists in European ceramics. Since the founding of Elfriede Langeloh in 1919, we have specialised in 18th-century porcelain and faience, with a particular focus on early Meissen.
We very much look forward to welcoming you in Paris.

The Parcours is accompanied by a cultural programme and takes place in cooperation with the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. During the week of the event, lectures will be given by the museum’s curators. Detailed information can be found on the website parcoursdelaceramique.com.
During these September days, the international art world gathers in Paris, which in recent years has become one of the leading European centres of the art market. Almost simultaneously with the Parcours, from 19 to 23 September 2026, Fine Arts Paris (FAP) will take place at the Grand Palais, bringing together around 100 exhibitors as well as an international audience of collectors, curators and institutions.
Themes of our exhibition
One focus of our exhibition is the beginnings of the Meissen manufactory, with early Böttger stoneware dating from around 1710 to 1713.
Another section is devoted to the figures and groups of Johann Joachim Kaendler. These include courtly and gallant subjects, crinoline figures, characters from the Commedia dell’arte and animals. Kaendler modelled such works for the Meissen manufactory from the 1730s onwards. They contributed significantly to his reputation as the foremost modeller of the 18th century.
We will also be showing early Meissen tableware, including decorations inspired by East Asian models, chinoiseries by Johann Gregorius Höroldt and pieces from the Swan Service.
A further focus is on gallantry wares and Meissen snuffboxes from the 18th century.
The exhibition is complemented by a collection of Nymphenburg porcelain from an aristocratic collection, including figures and groups by Franz Anton Bustelli, who is regarded as one of the most important modellers of the European Rococo.
We look forward to welcoming you in Paris.
