Paul-Francois Luciani’s expertise is based on his studies at ESTP and his past duties as DGA as a subsidiary of a large CAC 40 group and CEO of the eponymous group.

A lecturer, he broadcasts communications on French porcelain in the 18th century under its political, economic and artistic aspects. Collector, the axis of his acquisitions is the western porcelain of the 18th century with a particular attention to soft porcelain. The Sèvres section of his collection concerns works from the beginning of the Manufacture to the present day.
