Petroz

Jules Petroz was born in 1960 in Geneva. Initiated by his parents, also antiquarians, to the world of fine art and antiques, he studied History of Art at the University of Geneva. Jules has more than 20 years experience to his active, and since 1990, has been collaborating with his wife, Aicha. They deal mainly in Switzerland and in France, and their research extends to the rest of Europe, where they are always on the lookout for unique pieces. They have been supplying museums, world-renowned galleries and interior designers with rare pieces of furniture.
Their interest covers antiques, from archaeological finds to contemporary pieces and modern design, as well as Haute Époque, Renaissance and the 18th Century, with a special interest in Old Master drawings, prints, paintings and ceramics. They also buy books, sculptures and old photographs. Always on the move, from one fair to another, they visit large and small galleries as well as private clients.
Aicha and Jules are well-known figures in Geneva, having discovered, hidden beneath a pastel painting, what very seemingly appears to be a portrait of a late 19th-Century actress, demi-mondaine Mary Laurent, by Edouard Manet.

In September 2008, they have open a bureau in the offices of Terra Nostra,
where they will welcome you, in all discretion, to give you free advice on your antique pieces.
It is also possible to visit you at home for an assessment of larger items or collections.
Working closely with experienced professionals, they provide the best service for removals,
clearing out apartments, attics and basements.
Additionally, Jules is available for advice in investment in art and antiques.

Originaire du Val D’Aoste, Jules Petroz est né à Genève en 1960. Initié au monde de l’art par des parents antiquaires, il a étudié la restauration et l’expertise de la peinture avec un maître. Puis l’histoire de l’art à l’Université de Genève, pour alors se livrer au commerce d’œuvres d’art.
Jules est actif sur le marché de l’art depuis une vingtaine d'années, et depuis 1990, il travail avec Aicha son épouse.
Leur discrétion et leur savoir faire sont très apprécié des connaisseurs.
Basés entre Genève et la côte d’Azure, ils sillonnent l’Europe en quête d’objets rares, fournissant des musées et des galeries de renom ainsi qu’un panel de clients privés.
Leurs intérêts couvrent pratiquement toutes les périodes, de l’archéologie à l’art contemporain, la Haute époque, la Renaissance ou le 18ème siècle, avec un intérêt particulier pour les dessins, les peintures, et les gravures des maîtres anciens, la céramique. Toujours en mouvement d’une foire à l’autre en visite aussi bien chez les grands que chez les petits antiquaires.
