ABOUT MJ AND JC MAULEON
Jean-Claude's first passions were old books, ancient coins and antiquities. A collector for more than 45 years, his interest in Asian art blossomed during his first posting in Asia in 1972.Since their return from the Fast East in 1992, Marie-Josee and Jean-Claude have continued to collect Asian and African art, including both primitive and classical pieces as well as antiquities from all over the world. They have owned and managed an antique shop, first in Montreal, Canada, and now in France, for 15 years. Their gallery at Trocadero.com was previously named Galerie Orients-Extremes. The name has been changed to reflect the wider range of pieces they now offer.
Should you plan a visit to the South West part of France, you are welcome to visit them in a small hamlet near Cordes sur Ciel, where they now live.
Jean-Claude has been a painter for many years and Marie-Josee is a ceramist. You might be interested to know that the painting appearing on the homepage of the gallery is one of Jean-Claude's works.
