THE GALLERY
Located in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, at the heart of the Carré Rive Gauche, 1831 Art Gallery is a meeting place for collectors, artists, and professionals from the worlds of architecture and design.
Founded in 2014 by Aude and Jean-Louis Herlédan, 1831 Art Gallery is a singular space born from the dialogue between artistic creation and a passion for collecting.
The gallery’s curatorial approach is shaped by a strong affinity for the decorative arts, modernist architecture, and influences drawn from different cultures. It brings together a distinctive selection of contemporary artists from around the world, presented through thematic exhibitions and projects.
1831 Art Gallery collaborates with numerous internationally recognized galleries, institutions, and foundations. As a member of the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art, Paris Design Week, Carré Rive Gauche, and the Créateurs Design Association, the gallery is actively committed to promoting the French contemporary art scene on an international level.
The gallery also works closely with leading French cultural institutions, including the Centre National des Arts Plastiques (CNAP), under the aegis of the French Ministry of Culture, as well as the Institut Français and Villa Albertine in the United States, supporting the organization of international exhibitions, projects, and art fairs.
1831 Art Gallery is deeply involved in the development and promotion of its artists, accompanying them through a wide range of institutional and cultural projects. These include participation in the French initiative “1 immeuble – 1 œuvre,” the co-financing of monographic catalogues, artist residencies, international exhibitions and art fairs, as well as collaborations with the Fonds Régionaux d’Art Contemporain (FRAC).
The gallery has developed a strong and lasting network of art and design professionals, architecture studios, and interior designers. These collaborations give rise to off-site exhibitions and bespoke projects throughout the year, both in France and internationally, with recent and upcoming projects in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Florence, and soon Dubai.
As an active member of the Paris art and design community, 1831 Art Gallery takes part in the city’s major annual events, including Paris Design Week in January and September, Paris Gallery Weekend in May, events organized by Carré Rive Gauche in June, September, and December, and Starting Sunday in October.
The gallery regularly participates in leading Parisian art fairs, including Art Paris and Moderne Art Fair, and presents its artists at exhibitions, fairs, and cultural events internationally.

We also offer an installation service (available for most major destinations).
Presentation of works
The artworks shown on this site are not all exhibited at the gallery. We have a large stock of works in Paris, so it is easy for us to organize a presentation of some of your choice. We also offer home presentations.
We are also at your disposal to schedule video-conference meetings with the gallery’s artists.
Financing and leasing of artworks
We work with several partners who specialize in art financing.
Financial leasing, or leasing with an option to buy (LOA), allows companies to acquire a work of art or a piece of furniture for the fitting out of their professional spaces, while benefiting from an advantageous financing solution.
– Vector of image and communication
– Tax savings with 100% deductible rent
– Spreading of rental charges from 13 to 48 months
– Possibility of exercising the purchase option with acquisition at residual value (LOA)
– Paintings, sculptures, photographs, design furniture, NFT…
– Renting with an option to buy (LOA) has financial and fiscal advantages:
The rents are deductible from the taxable result and reduce the IS (Companies) or the IRPP (liberal professions). Renting allows you to spread the cost of the purchase over several years.
– Investing in art in a company
In addition to article 238 bis AB of the General Tax Code, leasing encourages the introduction of works of art in professional spaces, supports artistic creation and encourages companies to spread the values of creativity and openness. At the end of the lease contract, the works are sold for a residual value.
This financing comes within the framework of the decoration and fitting out of offices in account 6068 of the general accounting plan, with the condition of exhibiting the works in a place accessible to the public within the company (provisions applicable in France).
